| Abstract: | Melt mixing of nylon 8 with neodymium oxide particles was carried out with a single-screw extruder. The crystal behaviors of plain nylon 6 and the neodymium oxide filled nylon 6 mixture were studied by means of isothermal crystallization kinetic analysis. Isothermal crystallization thermograms obtained by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were analyzed based on the Avrami equation. The neodymium oxide particles acted as a nucleating agent in the mixture. The overall rate of di-isothermal crystallization of the neodymium oxide filled nylon 6 mixture is higher than that of plain nylon 6. The mechanism and modes of plain nylon 6 were the same as those of neodymium oxide filled PA6 mixture. |
