Crystallization of polyamides II—Nylon 6 and Nylon 66

A comparison is made between the rates of spherulitic growth in Nylon 6 and Nylon 66 polymers. Theoretical equations describing the growth rates are presented using the concept of molecular chain folding within the fibrils or lamellae comprising the spherulites. These equations adequately describe t...

Description
Summary:A comparison is made between the rates of spherulitic growth in Nylon 6 and Nylon 66 polymers. Theoretical equations describing the growth rates are presented using the concept of molecular chain folding within the fibrils or lamellae comprising the spherulites. These equations adequately describe the rate of spherulite growth in these two polyamides, which occurs by a coherent two-dimensional mechanism. Crystal surface free energies are given.
