Abstract
Abstract Shaped articles of polybut-1-ene are made by preheating a polymer blank in the crystalline form II at a temperature between 20° and 90° C. The preheated blank is then press-forged under a pressure between 8 and 100 kgf/mm 2 for a period of 1-40 seconds. During the shaping operation, the polymer is converted into the crystalline form I. Polybut-1-ene shaped articles are formed that have a melting peak, determined by differential thermal analysis, at 119° C.
