Abstract
AbstractThe thermal aging of polyamide 4,6 was investigated by DSC, SEM, WAXS, and1H solid‐state NMR. Phase composition, chain mobility, morphology, and domain sizes were determined as a function of aging time. Proton transverse magnetization relaxation was measured at low resonance frequency,1H wide‐line NMR spectra and1H spin‐diffusion experiments were made at high resonance frequency. The NMR investigation shows that the aging process affects the rigid (crystalline), semi‐rigid (crystalline/amorphous interface), and the mobile (amorphous) fraction of polyamide 4,6. The amount of rigid (crystalline) fraction increases by about 10% upon aging at 200 °C for 1 000 h at the expense of the interfacial fraction. Chain mobility in crystalline phase is reduced upon aging suggesting perfections of the crystalline order.magnified image
