Abstract: The crystallization from the melt of an isotactic butene-1 homopolymer composition or isotactic butene-1-ethylene copolymer composition is promoted by adding a small amount of a nucleating agent selected from the group consisting of N,N'-ethylene-bis-stearamide and stearamide.
Abstract: A crystallizable thermoplastic composition is prepared by adding a small amount of substantially graphitic non-turbostratic carbon to an isotactic butene-1 homopolymer or copolymer with ethylene.
