## Abstract The dynamic tensile modulus and energy loss have been measured for nylon 66 monofilaments at 9 and 60ยฐC. over a wide humidity range in forced longitudinal vibration experiments. The frequency range covered was about 3 to 30 cycles/sec. (radian frequency 20 to 200 sec.^โ1^). The results

Abstract
The presence of spherulites in nylon 66 increases the yield point and reduces the effects of variations in per cent crystallinity. Decreasing the size of the spherulites through increased nucleation results in a higher flexural modulus and yield point, a lower ultimate elongation, and a loss of ductility. These effects are markedly reduced by raising the temperature or water content. The effects of spherulite size in nylon and grain size in metals such as mild steel are compared.

Nylon fibers dyed with different types of acid dyes were melt reprocessed using a compression-molding machine. The crystalline structure and mechanical properties of the melt-reprocessed nylon were experimentally evaluated. It was found that metal complex acid dyes showed much more distinct effects
Blends of Nylon 6 with very low density polyethylene (VLDPE) have been studied. The blends exhibit two phase morphology wherein VLDPE is dispersed in the form of spherical domains in Nylon 6 matrix. The water absorption of the blends decreased with increasing VLDPE content. The mechanical properties
