Amorphous and crystalline phase interaction during the Brill transition in nylon 66

Abstract: Abstract.A prominent α′ process in specifically treated nylon 66 and microcomposite samples is identified by dynamic mechanical analysis and proposed to be an amorphous phase counterpart of the Brill transition identified by synchrotron wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). It is suggested that this α′ process, which marks a critical free volume change and an onset of segmental chain movement in the amorphous phase, precedes and prompts the Brill transition in the crystalline phase.

“…It is worth mentioning that the structure of conventional nylons has usually a continuous evolution with temperature towards a pseudohexagonal packing that is achieved at the so-called Brill transition temperature [28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. Unfortunately, low resolution or ambiguous X-ray diffraction data do not provide a good understanding of this transition.…”

“…Because both PA66 matrix and glass fibers possess positive thermal expansion coefficient, the increase of strain during heating process is mainly due to the expansion of the dimension. When the temperature is higher than the T g of PA66, which value is about 50 °C obtained from DSC measurement, chain segments begin to move, and residual stress releases with the reduction of free volume and densification through the movement and configurational rearrangement of PA66 segments, resulting in the reduction of strain. Reduction of strain in holding stage is due to the release of residual stress in composite, and the reduction of strain in cooling stage is attributed to the shrinkage of dimension and generation of new residual stress.…”

“…It is because that glass fiber provide lower energy condition for heterogeneous nucleation and accelerate the crystallization rate of PA66. The spherocrystals near fiber surface collide each other because of high nucleation density, so that they can only grow along one direction vertical to the surface of glass fiber and form the transcrystallization region eventually . Besides, the width of transcrystallization region is approximately 15 μm similar to the diameter of glass fiber.…”
