Nonisothermal Crystallization Behavior of Poly(ethylene terephthalate)-Nylon 6 Blends

Abstract

Nonisothermal crystallization behavior of blends of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)-nylon 6 has been investigated. Component polymers in the blends exhibited separate crystallization and melting peaks. Nonisothermal crystallization parameters, like rate of crystallization, has changed for both the component polymers, whereas the degree of crystallinity has increased for PET with increasing amount of nylon 6 in the blends and decreased for nylon 6 with increasing amount of PET in blends. Thus blending seems to have improved crystallization parameters.
