Abstract

Stress-relaxation experiments in the limit of small deformations have been carried out in a wide range of temperatures for pure nylon 6 and its mixtures with LiBr and/or LiCl. Master curves have been constructed, by allowing horizontal shifts only, showing the shape typical for semicrystalline polymers in the case of pure nylon and that of essentially amorphous polymers in the case of salted samples. The glass transition temperatures determined from the plot logaT− 1/T is increased when in the presence of salts. All such effects are considered to reflect the binding action of Li+ and Br− ions.
