Abstract: | Summary
The influence of nanodispersed clay on the α crystalline structure of polyamide 6 (PA6) was examined in-situ with X-ray diffraction
(XRD) between room temperature and melting. In pure PA6 upon annealing the α crystalline phase was substituted by an unstable
pseudohexagonal phase at 150°C, then it transformed into a new stable crystalline structure - high temperature α′ phase above
the transition temperature. However, in PA6/clay nanocomposite (PA6CN), the α phase did not present crystalline phase transition
on heating. The increase in the annealing temperature only led to continuous intensity variation. The different behaviors
were caused by the confined spaces formed by silicate layers, which constrained the mobility of the polymer chains in-between.
