Abstract
Based on retaining the excellent properties of nylon-6 (PA6), nylon-6/66 copolymers (PA6/66) with well-controlled dimensional stability and toughness exhibit more potential applications. In this work, PA6/66 random copolymers were synthesized by melt copolymerization of e-caprolactam and hexamethylene adipamide salt. The sequence distribution, crystal morphology, crystal forms, and melting and crystallization behavior of PA6/66 copolymers were systematically investigated by quantitative 13C NMR, polarized optical microscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively. The crystallization activation energy increases from −286.43 to −212.43 kJ mol–1 as the co-polyamide bond ratio increases from 0 to 0.22, while the deteriorating sequence regularity does not alter the original crystal morphology and crystal forms of PA6. Significantly, control over the crystallization behavior of PA6/66 copolymer has been obtained through finely regulating its sequence distribution. Thi...
