Abstract:Timescales of polyamide
6 melt-shaping technologies, relative to
the dynamics of conformational rearrangements upon crystallization,
challenge the formation of the most thermodynamically favorable chain
packing and thus optimum performance. In this publication, we make
use of the mediation of hydrogen bonding by water molecules in the
superheated state of water, i.e., above 100 °C in a closed environment,
in the structural refinement of polyamide 6 for enhanced thermomechanical
performance. The paper addresses… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
