Isothermal and nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of Nylon 10 12
This article studied the crystallization behaviors of a newly industrialized polyamide, Nylon 10 12, under isothermal and nonisothermal conditions from the melt. A differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was used to monitor the energetics of the crystallization process. During isothermal crystallization, relative crystallinity develops in accordance with the time dependence described by the Avrami equation with the exponent n = 2.0. For nonisothermal studies, several different analysis methods were used to describe the crystallization. process. The experimental results show that the Ozawa approach cannot adequately describe the nonisothermal crystallization kinetics. However, Avrami treatment for nonisothermal crystallization is able to describe the system very well. The calculated activation energy is 264.4 KJ/mol for isothermal crystallization by Arrhenius form and 235.5 KJ/mol for nonisothermal crystallization by Kissinger method.
