Abstract
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 1-naphthalene acetamide; N-stearoyl-p-aminophenol; mercapto-N-2-naphthylacetamide; malonamide; nicotinamide; isonicotinamide; benzamide; salicylamide; and anthranilamide.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
65 words
A method for promoting crystallization from the melt of an isotactic butene-1 homopolymer or isotactic butene-1-ethylene copolymer having no more than about 15 mole percent of ethylene, which comprises adding to a composition comprising the homopolymer or copolymer about 0.02 to 5.0% by weight of a nucleating agent selected from the group consisting of 1-naphthalene acetamide; N-stearoyl-p-aminophenol; mercapto-N-2-naphthylacetamide; malonamide; nicotinamide; isonicotinamide; benzamide; salicylamide; and anthranilamide.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
65 words
A method for promoting crystallization from the melt of an isotactic butene-1 homopolymer or isotactic butene-1-ethylene copolymer having no more than about 15 mole percent of ethylene, which comprises adding to a composition comprising the homopolymer or copolymer about 0.02 to 5.0% by weight of a nucleating agent selected from the group consisting of 1-naphthalene acetamide; N-stearoyl-p-aminophenol; mercapto-N-2-naphthylacetamide; malonamide; nicotinamide; isonicotinamide; benzamide; salicylamide; and anthranilamide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method as defined in claim 1, wherein the nucleating agent is added to the composition comprising the butene-1 homopolymer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The method as defined in claim 2, wherein the nucleating agent is selected from the group consisting of 1-naphthalene acetamide; N-stearoyl-p-aminophenol; mercapto-N-2-naphthylacetamide; malonamide; nicotinamide; isonicotinamide; benzamide; and anthranilamide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
