TI  - Attapulgite Structure Reset to Accelerate the Crystal Transformation of Isotactic 
      Polybutene.

AB  - Isotactic polybutene (iPB) has a wide application in the water pipe field. 
      However, the most valuable form I, needs 7 days to complete the transformation. 
      In this study, the attapulgite (ATP), which produces lattice matching of the iPB 
      form I, was selected to prepare an iPB/ATP composite. The Fischer-Tropsch wax 
      (FTW) was grafted with maleic anhydride to obtain MAFT, and the ATP structure was 
      reset by reactions with MAFT to the prepared FATP, which improved the interface 
      compatibility of the ATP and iPB. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy 
      (FT-IR) and the water contact angle test confirmed the successful synthesis of 
      FATP. X-ray diffraction (XRD) verified that the graft of MAFT did not affect the 
      crystal structure of ATP. The iPB + 5% FATP had the maximum flexural strength, 
      which was 12.45 Mpa, and the flexural strength of the iPB + 5% FATP annealing for 
      1 day was much higher than others. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) photographs 
      verified that FATP and iPB had good interface compatibility. The crystal 
      transformation behavior indicated that the iPB + 5% FATP had the fastest crystal 
      transformation rate, which proved that the reset structure, ATP, greatly 
      accelerated the crystal transformation of iPB. This was a detailed study on the 
      effect of lattice matching, interfacial compatibility and internal lubrication of 
      the reset structure, ATP, in the nucleation and growth stages of iPB form I. The 
      result was verified by XRD, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Avrami 
      kinetics and polarizing microscope (POM) analysis.
