Abstract

Blends obtained from Biopol D600G and polyamide 6 reveal in DSC investigations multiphase structure with a distinct crystalline polyamide 6 phase. Due to rapid crystallization of the polyamide 6 the crystallization of the Biopol D600G is retarded. The grade of crystallization of Biopol D600G is lower in the blends than in the pure state, as calculated from the melting enthalpies. Crystallization of polyamide 6 in the blends is faster and results in increasing of the grade of crystallization of polyamide 6 phase comparing to the unblended component.
