Popis: | In this article, a series of blends of monomer casting polyamide 6 and styrene-co-acrylonitrile (MCPA6/SAN) were prepared by in situ anionic ring-opening polymerization of ϵ-caprolactam. Their morphology and thermal behaviors were investigated by means of scanning electron microscope, differential scanning calorimeter, and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), respectively. The SAN phase had much finer domain in MCPA6/SAN than that in the PA6/SAN blends prepared by melt blending of PA6 and SAN. All the melting and crystallization parameters of MCPA6/SAN blends decreased gradually with the increase of SAN content, while the melting temperature was almost unchanged. These results were due to the hydrolysis reaction of SAN that occurred during the anionic polymerization of ϵ-caprolactam. In addition, WAXD results showed that only α crystal forms existed in the MCPA6/SAN blends. In addition, the mechanical property of MCPA6 was improved obviously by incorporating a certain amount of SAN. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 100: 1357–1363, 2006 |
