MORPHOLOGY, CRYSTALLIZATION KINETICS AND DYNAMIC MECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF PHOSPHATE GLASS-POLYAMIDE 12 HYBRID MATERIALS

摘要

This study focuses on a fundamental study of morphology, crystallization kinetics, and dynamic mechanical properties of a novel phosphate glass-polyamide 12 hybrid system with up to 50% by volume of a low Tg phosphate glass (Pglass). The hybrid properties were enhanced with increasing amounts of Pglass. The crystallization kinetics was found to be consistent with the Avrami equation. Morphological investigations revealed a thermodynamically stable structure that could be tuned to targeted specifications.
