Evaluation justification (strengths and weaknesses of thesis):
Theoretical part of the thesis is describing polypropylene, its chemical and crystal structure and nucleating agents. This part of the work is of high quality and provides base for experimental work.
Experimental part consists of materials and samples preparation description and methods
description. Obtained results of the measurements are described in last part of the thesis. Overall quality of the thesis is very good, especially connecting of results from different measurements, interpretation of results and discussion. Thesis is constructed in a fluid, logical way. Low number of minor imperfections can be found, for example low resolution of some pictures in results but the impact on the overall quality is negligible.
Questions to be answered by student:
1) Are there any possible applications for prepared materials?
2) What method was used to obtain values of peaks in DSC scans?
