In this paper, the microstructural evolution of controlled-rheology polypropylene (CRPP) with different melt viscoelasticities was investigated by polarized optical microscopy, scanning electronic microscopy, differential scanning calorimeter, and wide-angle X-ray diffraction. It is found that a typical “skin-core” structure formed in CRPP microparts and the thickness of oriented layer of CRPP microparts decreases notably with the addition of peroxide. The thickness of oriented layer and the distribution of different layers strongly depend on the melt flow properties and the corresponding relaxation time (λ). Furthermore, the mechanisms of the suppressed formation of oriented layers during the micro-injection molding process are discussed mainly from the viewpoint of rheology and thermodynamics. It is revealed that the shear-induced orientation is one of the key factors for the formation of oriented molecular structure (row nuclei). The final thickness of the oriented layer is the result of the competition between the orientation behavior and the disorientation behavior. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
