Calcium Salt of L-Isoleucine-Phthalate: An α-Nucleating Agent That Enhances the Crystallization Behavior and Mechanical Properties of Isotactic Polypropylene

In this study we prepared the novel compound L-isoleucine-phthalandione (LIPTA), featuring carboxyl and amide groups, and its calcium salt, the calcium salt of L-isoleucine-phthalate (LIPTA-Ca), an...
