Polypropylene (PP), also known as polypropene, is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications including packaging and labeling, textiles (e.g., ropes, thermal underwear and carpets), stationery, plastic parts and reusable containers of various types, laboratory equipment, loudspeakers, automotive components, and polymer banknotes. An addition polymer made from the monomer propylene, it is rugged and unusually resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and acids.

What is the difference between isotactic polypropylene and syndiotactic polypropylene?

The difference between isotactic polypropylene and syndiotactic polypropylene lies in the arrangement of the propylene monomer units in the polymer chain. In isotactic polypropylene, all the methyl groups of the propylene units are on the same side of the polymer chain, while in syndiotactic polypropylene, the methyl groups alternate sides. This difference in arrangement affects the properties and crystallinity of the polymer.
