Summary: A novel method for the tailoring of unique three‐phase crystalline systems in isotactic poly(propylene) has been proven. It is based on a synergistic application of a specific β ‐nucleating agent and high pressure during crystallization. The formation of a γ phase was supported by elevated pressure and high temperature during crystallization; under these conditions the growth of both β and α phases was significantly suppressed. Nevertheless, during the course of crystallization at lower pressure and/or lower temperatures, strong β ‐nucleation efficiency favored the formation of a β phase.
