Abstract

This work describes the important effects of microstructural features on crystalline structure, mechanical behavior and molten state response for poly (propylene-co-1-pentene-co-1-heptene) terpolymers. The study was carried out in a wide range of compositions, varying the 1-pentene/1-heptene ratio and the thermal history applied. Molecular features, as propylene sequences and compositional triads, allow predicting the material behavior. Moreover, rheological response has demonstrated the influence of molecular weight, comonomer content and short-chain branches on the properties. The flow activation energy can justify the importance of the material density over the whole spectrum of properties.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-12-24:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 5.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 5 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 1.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 1 (Altmetric).
