Weld regions are formed wherever polymer flow fronts meet. The present study examines the effects of melt temperature, mold temperature, mold cooling conditions, injection speed and annealing on the tensile properties and morphological structure of weld regions in four commercially available polypropylene resins. One of the resins contained nucleation particles. Scanning electron micrographs of the weld region revealed a wide range of morphologies from very strong welds which formed part of a stable neck to brittle failures at low elongation caused by the presence of large nucleation particles in the weld region. The melt temperature, mold temperature, and annealing had the greatest effect on the weld region's tensile properties.
