Highly nucleated thermoplastic articles

A thermoplastic article selected from the group consisting of a fiber, a thin film or thin-walled article, a thicker plaque or other solid article having a thickness between about 15 and 150 mils, and a thicker-walled article having a thickness greater than 150 mils, wherein said thermoplastic article comprises a compound conforming to the structure of Formula (I)

• wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, and R10 are individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C1-C9 alkyl, hydroxy, C1-C9 alkoxy, C1-C9 alkyleneoxy, amine, and C1-C9 alkylamine, halogen, phenyl, alkylphenyl, and geminal or vicinal carbocyclic having up to 9 carbon atoms;
• R′ and R″ are the same or different and are individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C1-C30 alkyl, hydroxy, amine, polyamine, polyoxyamine, C1-C30 alkylamine, phenyl, halogen, C1-C30 alkoxy, C1-C30 polyoxyalkyl, C(O)—NR11 C(O)O—R′″,and C(O)O—R′″, wherein R11 is selected from the group consisting of C1-C30 alkyl, hydrogen, C1-C30 alkoxy, and C1-C30 polyoxyalkyl;
• wherein each R′″ of both R′ and R″ may be the same or different and are individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a monovalent cation, polyoxy-C2-C18-alkylene, C1-C30 alkylene, C1-C30 alkylene, C1-C30 alkyleneoxy, a steroid moiety, phenyl, polyphenyl, C1-C9 alkylhalide, and C1-C9 alkylamine, or wherein each R′″ of both R′ and R″ may be combined to form a moiety selected from the group consisting of a single bivalent metal cation and a single trivalent metal overbase;
• wherein at least one of R′ and R″ is selected from the group consisting of C(O)—NR11 C(O)O—R′″ and C(O)O—R′″, wherein if a C(O)—NR11 C(O)O—R′″ group is present, then R′″ for that group is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a monovalent cation, or wherein if another a C(O)—NR11 C(O)O—R′″ group is present, then the R′″ of both groups may be combined to form a single bivalent metal cation.
