Popis: | Nylon-11 was crystallized into different crystalline phases by appropriate methods. The change in the structure during heating was monitored in situ by wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS). The α phase obtained by precipitating nylon-11 in 1,4-butanediol started transforming into the pseudohexagonal phase on heating, but the transformation was not fully completed before melting. The melt crystallized sample at 175 °C gave the pseudohexagonal phase, which transformed into the α‘ phase on cooling to room temperature at about 100 °C. The d spacing of the 001 reflection also showed a change at the transition temperature. The melt-quenched sample showed the pseudohexagonal phase, which did not change during heating, but on cooling transformed into α‘ phase. The γ phase was obtained by casting nylon-11 in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), and it changed into the pseudohexagonal phase at about 110 °C on heating. The d spacing of the 001 reflection depended on the way in which it was obtained. The studies have shown that... |
