ABS# The crystallization and melting behavior of blends of polyproplylene
     and the cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon Arkon P 125 produced by the company
     Arakawa Forest Chemical Industries Ltd. is reported. It is shown that
     the rate of crystallization of polypropylene is increased by the presence
     of small amounts of Arkon (up to 20%). Probably, the polypropylene
     chains have a higher mobility when dissolved in Arkon. If the amount
     of arkon is 40 and 60%, the rate of crystallization decreases due to
     the longer distances the polypropylene chainse have to diffuse in order
     to form crystals.
