Abstract
The crystllization kinetics of anionic-prepared nylon6-poly(oxypropylene) 1000-nylon 6 (NPN) block copolymers containing 1.20 to 8.76 wt% poly(oxypropylene)(POP) were studied. The thermograms of isothermal and nonisothermal differential scanning calorimetry of NPN block copolymers obtained were used for the study. The Avrami equation was used to analyze the isothermal crystallization of NPN nylon block copolymers. The Avrami exponent n obtained in the temperature range of 180 to 200 &°C was 2.0 to 2.5. It was not similar to that for nylon 6 reported in literature. The activation energies of crystallization for the nylon block copolymers were smaller than that of nylon 6, and showed a minimum with POP content. The equilibrium melting point increased as the POP content decreased. For the nylon block copolymers with lower POP content, the slopes of Tc
