In this article, the annealing effect on the physical properties of
isotactic polypropylene (iPP) fibers is studied using automated VAWI interference microscope.
Gen 4 is an offshoot of Gen 3 introduced in 1990, using diesters like diisobutyl phthalate as internal donors and silanes like dicyclopentyl-dimethoxy silane (DCPDMS) as external donors for super high activity and high selectivity for
isotactic PP.

The madar fiber, a close relative of jute and hemp, was used as reinforcing filler for
isotactic polypropylene for the first time, mainly due to the cost-effectiveness and natural abundance.
Treofan is developing these ultrathin capacitor films with a high level of thickness homogeneity, electrical field stressability, low energy losses and very good mechanical characteristics using Borealis' Borclean super pure, high
isotactic polypropylene homopolymer with a novel polymer design.
Among the topics are the development of a hydrophobic microporous
isotactic polypropylene membrane for a membrane contactor application, tensile properties and the degradability of a polyvinyl alcohol and starch succinate blend, flooding with biopolymer from microbes derived from mushrooms and cabbage to enhance the sweep efficiency in enhanced oil recovery, synthesizing hydroxyapatite with the sol-gel dip-coating method on a ceramic support, and potential technologies for decoloring batik wastewater.

In the 1950s, the historical achievements, which were subsequently awarded with the Nobel Prize, were reported concerning the helical structures of three different types of polymers, protein in 1951, (1) DNA in 1953 (2) and
isotactic polypropylene in 1955.
