The thickness of oriented zones in water-assisted injection moulded b-iPP parts increased with the increasing of b-nucleating agent (b-NA) content. More interestingly, the high b-NA content suppressed the hierarchical structure effectively, which is consistent with the almost invariable crystallinity and orientation. Meanwhile, an unexpected lamellar branching of the b-crystal was observed.
