Fractionated Crystallization in Polyolefins-Nylon-6 Blends
The crystallization behavior of polyolefins-nylon 6 polymer blends was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. In these blends, the crystallization of the minor component often starts with distinctly deeper supercooling than that of the pure polymer, and proceeds in several separate steps. The origin of this phenomenon was studied and was related to the volume fraction of the dispersed phase and the compatibility between the dispersed phase and the matrix.
