Abstract: | The copolyamides consisting of ε-caprolactam and 6.1–24.5 wt.% of nylon salt prepared from adipic acid and 1-(2-aminoethyl)
piperazine were synthesized. Physical and thermal characteristics of polyamide 6 and the copolyamides were compared. Nylon
salt does not influence the polyreaction equilibrium so it is possible to prepare the copolyamides with high molecular weight
and with the content of low-molecular compounds comparable with that of pure PA 6. Melting temperatures of the copolyamides
are lower in comparison with PA 6 and decrease proportionally to the amount of the nylon salt. The thermal stability of the
copolyamides is good and equal to that of PA 6. The melting enthalpies indicate that the process of crystallization of the
copolyamides is influenced by the time of crystallization and the amount of comonomer present. Longer time of the crystallization
assures higher degree of crystallization. The kinetics and the level of crystallization are positively influenced by the mobility
of copolyamide segments mainly up to 10 wt.% of comonomer. |
