摘要

The polyamide 6 fiber shows strong heterogeneous nucleating ability to the POM/PBS blends

where crystallization temperature is vital to determine the nucleation efficacy. The crowded nuclei on the surface of polyamide 6 fiber compell the twisted lamellae to grow along the perpendicular direction

leading to the formation of unique interfacial banded transcrystallization.

Abstract

Interfacial crystallization of polyoxymethylene/poly(butylene succinate) blends induced by the polyamide 6 (PA6) fiber was investigated. Due to strong heterogeneous nucleating ability

dense nuclei were generated on the surface of the PA6 fiber

which compelled the growth of twisted lamellae perpendicular to the PA6 fiber. As a result

unique interfacial banded transcrystallization was formed

which is rarely found before. Crystallization temperature was dominant in determining the nucleation activity of the PA6 fiber

further affecting the architecture of banded transcrystallization. With the increase of crystallization temperature

the nucleation density decreased to give more growth space for the twisted lamellae around the fiber. The wave-like banded stripes were transformed into fan-like stripes. Accordingly

band spacing and eccentricity respectively showed positive and negative correlation with crystallization temperature. These meaningful results shed light on regulating the architecture of banded crystals in polymer composites.
