Structure and thermal properties of blends of nylon 6 and a liquid crystal copolyester1Dedicated to the memory of Prof. J.G. Fatou.1

The effect of zinc oxide addition on the compatibilization efficiency of maleic anhydride grafted high‐density polyethylene compatibilizer for high‐density polyethylene/polyamide 6 blends

“…Slow cooling and high crystallization temperatures leads to the preponderance of the a-form. 39,40 It was hoped that WAXS spectra would be able to be used to quantify the amount of each crystalline structure for nylon in the blends; unfortunately, as shown in Figure 9, the polyethylene110 and 200 reflections interfere with the 2 g reflections, and the subsequent error in peak deconvolution was too large.…”

An Unusual Crystallization Behavior in Polyamide 6/Montmorillonite Nanocomposites

“…A mixture of a-and c-crystalline forms of PA6 is observed in most cases and for this reason, an average value of 190 J/g was chosen for DH 0 m . [13] Figure 1 presents the plots of the crystallinity of PA6 and PA6/MMT versus cooling rates based on DSC results. For PA6, X C-DSC decreased with increasing cooling rate, as is typically observed.…”

Investigation on Unusual Crystallization Behavior in Polyamide 6/Montmorillonite Nanocomposites

“…A mixture of a and c-crystalline form of PA6 is observed in most cases and for this reason, an average value of 190 J/g has been chosen for DH 0 m . As it was described in a previous paper, [23] several values were proposed for the enthalpy of melting for the different 100% crystalline polymorphic forms of PA6. An intermediate value of 190 J/g was reported by Ioune, [24] using several PA6 samples with different molecular weights and crystallinity degrees and plotting the heat of fusion obtained by calorimetric techniques from the area under the peak against the crystallinity degree determined by density measurements.…”
