Summary

The dynamic mechanical properties of nylon 66 films and fibers have been examined, as a function of annealing and drawing, with a Vibron viscoelastometer. It is found that the α′ transition is little affected by annealing treatments, but increase in orientation causes the transition to move to a higher temperature. Experiments, with X-ray diffraction of samples at elevated temperatures, lead to the conclusion that the triclinic to hexagonal phase change does not contribute significantly to the α′ transition. Samples cut parallel and perpendicular to the drawing direction of nylon 66 film, have been used to show that the curves of dynamic tensile modulus versus temperature, for the parallel and perpendicular directions, cross in the neighborhood of the α′ transition. This observation is discussed in relation to the suggestion that the α′ transition is the glass transition in nylon 66.

Zusammenfassung

Die dynamisch-mechanischen Eigenschaften von Filmen und Fasern aus Nylon 66 wurden als Funktion der Temperung und Verstreckung mit einem Virbon-Viskoelastometer untersucht. Die α′-Umwandlung wird wenig durch die Temperung beeinflußt, aber erhöhte Orientierung läßt siezu höheren Temperaturen verlagern. Messungen der Röntgenstreuung bei erhöhten Temperaturen führen zu dem Schluß, daß der Übergang triklin/hexagonal nicht wesentlich zu der α′-Umwandlung beiträgt. Proben aus verstrecktem Nylon-66-Film, parallel und senkrecht zur Streckrichtung geschnitten, zeigen, daß die Kurven des dynamischenE-Moduls gegen die Temperatur für beide Orientierungen sich in der Nachbarschaft der α′-Umwandlung überkreuzen. Diese Beobachtung wird hinsichtlich der Vermutung diskutiert, daß die α′-Umwandlung den Glasübergang in Nylon 66 darstellt.
