Crystal Transition Effect on Chain Movement in Nylon 11

Two crystal forms (α and δ′ form) of nylon 11 were prepared by melting, ice water bath quenching and annealing. The characteristic of chain movement of two forms was investigated using dielectric relaxation spectroscopy in the frequency range from 42 Hz to 5 MHz. The dielectric temperature spectra at different frequencies show that the primary α relaxation corresponding to the chain segment movement is located at higher temperature in α form, indicating the chain segment movement is restricted after δ′→α crystal transition. The activation energy of secondary β relaxation remained almost unchanged for two forms, but the relaxation time was longer and the relaxation strength was weaker for α form, confirming that the local relaxation was also restricted to some extent after δ′→α crystal transition.
