Preparation, morphology, and deformation behavior of polyoxypropylene‐co‐nylon 6 thermoplastic elastomers

摘要

AbstractSegmented block copolymers consisting of nylon 6 and polyoxypropylene blocks were prepared and characterized. Pronounced phase separation in the solid phase was deduced from differential calorimetry and from small‐angle X‐ray scattering, as well as from dynamic mechanical measurements. The morphology (from X‐ray diffraction) and anisotropy in mechanical properties strongly suggest phase separation in the melt (which is optically clear). Elastomerlike properties are described and disc
