Abstract
A transparent polyamide, poly(4,4′-aminocyclohexyl methylene dodecanedicarboxylamide) (PAPACM12), was studied and characterized by in situ wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) to establish the relationship between its crystallization behavior, crystalline form transition under external fields, and macroscopic properties. During the heating process, cold crystallization occurred and increased, and there was no form transition below the melting point. During the isothermal process, PAPACM12 exhibited the same crystalline structure as that during the heating process. The crystalline structure of PAPACM12 was attributed to α-form crystal, which is the stable form, according to the WAXD diffraction peaks of the conventional AABB-type polyamides. During stretching deformation, the crystal transition from α-form to γ-form and strain-induced crystallization were observed to contribute to the PAPACM12 with higher breaking strength and elongation. This study firstly determine the crystalline structure of transparent polyamides, and then the controlled strain-induced crystallization and transformation are demonstrated to be effective preparation methods for polyamides with high properties.
