Shear induced crystallization of MXD6 with and without nucleating additives

Résumé

The shear induced crystallization of the poly(m-xylylene adipamide) (MXD6) which is a semi-aromatic polyamide, was studied for a virgin (PA1) and a nucleated (PA2) grades using a shearing hot stage coupled with a microscope. Half crystallization times were measured according to the crystallization conditions (crystallization temperature, shear rate and shearing time). The effect of shear on the crystallization kinetics was shown by a strong decrease of the crystallization times for both materials. PA2 sensitivity to shear was much lower than that of PA1. This was attributed to the presence of nucleating agents which increased the primary nucleation density in the unsheared quiescent melt, leading to a higher necessary shear rate to overcome the quiescent nucleation. Kinetic models were proposed to predict the crystallization process as a function of the crystallization conditions. They were based on both Avrami and Hoffman-Lauritzen theories and modified to take into account the effect of shear. In the model the nucleation rate of the crystalline entities was related to the shear rate by a power function. Besides, crystalline morphology and orientation were studied by wide and small angle X-ray scattering to confirm the orientation effect of the shear in the crystalline part of the material.
