✦ Synopsis


This article describes the crystallization behavior of polypropylene (PP) in the presence of a crystallizable polymer, namely, nylon 6, in the binary blend of PP/nylon 6 in the composition range from 0 to 30 wt % of nylon 6 content in the blend. The crystallization behavior was studied through variation of the crystallinity with the blend composition and changes in the crystallization exotherms were recorded by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and the spherulite morphology was observed via polarized light microscopy (PLM). Comparison of the crystallization exotherms and melting endotherms revealed some differences which are attributed to the role of a sufficiently high thermal energy of the nylon 6 crystals on the melting of PP. The crystallinity of PP decreased in the presence of nylon 6, whereas the crystallinity of nylon 6 increased considerably in the presence of PP. The rate of nucleation of PP on addition of nylon 6 decreased rapidly in the region 0 -10 wt % nylon 6 content, and, thereafter, at a higher nylon 6 content, decrease of the nucleation rate was relatively slow. PLM observation revealed the presence of composite spherulites with PP spherulites grown on the surface of the already-formed nylon 6 spherulites.

Crystallization behavior and crystalline morphology of plain polypropylene (PP) and its blend with 0 to 30 wt % nylon 6 were studied by the hot-stage polarized light microscopy method. Radial growth rate and the size and number of PP spherulites were measured as a function of both the isothermal cry
