Abstract
The introduction of propylene co-units into butene/propylene random copolymers can accelerate the II–I phase transition and even induce the direct formation of trigonal form I′ from an amorphous melt.

Abstract
New questions and conjectures are raised on the crystal-crystal phase transition of isotactic polybutene-1 (iPB-1) containing nanofiller in the flow field. In this work, we investigate the phase transition from flow-induced oriented form II to I in iPB-1 blends with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with a homemade two-drum extensional rheometer combined with in situ wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) measurements. The MWCNTs show a limited promoting effect on the phase transition kinetics under quiescent conditions, while the phase transition kinetic is highly accelerated with the impose of melt-extension. When the loading extension strain is 0.5 or 2.0, the half time of phase transition (t1/2) is shortened from tens of hours to a few hours, depending on the melt-extension strain and the MWCNTs content in iPB-1. When the extension strain increases to 3.5, t1/2 decreases to about 30 min, which is independent of the MWCNTs content in all iPB-1 blends except in blends with MWCNTs content of 1%, where the phase transition rate in the middle and late stages is restrained. It's speculated that flow-induced molecular orientation or shish-kebab morphology affects the internal stress or stress transfer. The addition of a nanofiller enlarged the effect of melt-extension through strengthening the localized intensity of flow field. In general, the combination of nanofiller and melt-extension can obviously promote the phase transition kinetics.
