In this paper, the crystalline modification of a rare earth nucleating agent (WBG) for isotactic polypropylene (PP) based on its supramolecular self-assembly was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, wide-angle X-ray diffraction and polarized optical microscopy. In addition, the relationship between the self-assembly structure of the nucleating agent and the crystalline structure, as well as the possible reason for the self-assembly behaviour, was further studied. The structure evolution of WBG showed that the self-assembly structure changed from a needle-like structure to a dendritic structure with increase in the content of WBG. When the content of WBG exceeded a critical value (0.4 wt%), it self-assembled into a strip structure. This revealed that the structure evolution of WBG contributed to the K β and the crystallization morphology of PP with different content of WBG. In addition, further studies implied that the behaviour of self-assembly was a liquid–solid transformation of WBG, followed by a liquid–liquid phase separation of molten isotactic PP and WBG. The formation of the self-assembly structure was based on the free molecules by hydrogen bond dissociation while being heated, followed by aggregation into another structure by hydrogen bond association while being cooled. Furthermore, self-assembly behaviour depends largely on the interaction between WBG themselves.
