Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
To transform α-nucleation into β-nucleation of wollastonite surface for isotactic polypropylene (iPP), the wollastonite with a β-nucleating surface was prepared through the chemical reaction between wollastonite and pimelic acid in both liquid mixing (method A) and powder mixing (method B). The wollastonite with a β-nucleating surface was confirmed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, wide-angle X-ray diffraction under different temperatures, thermogravimetry coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, and scanning electron microscopy. The crystallization and melting behavior and the crystalline morphology of iPP composites filled by wollastonite with a β-nucleating surface were investigated by DSC and optical microscopy. The results indicated that wollastonite filled iPP composites predominantly crystallize in the α-phase iPP and iPP composites filled by wollastonite with a β-nucleating surface mainly form β-phase iPP. It is proved that heterogeneous nucleating mechanism has been changed from α-nucleation into β-nucleation of wollastonite surface for iPP crystallization. What deserves to be mentioned is that the nucleation density of flat surface in the end of needle-like wollastonite is higher than that of curved surface of wollastonite. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
