The results show that Nylon 1012 undergoes a crystalline relaxation between the glass transition temperature and the melting point. We thus demonstrate, for the first time, the presence of the Brill transition in Nylon 1012, a phenomena that has been extensively studied in Nylon 66. It is found that the Brill transition temperature is about 120 ℃ and we have also showed that the Brill transition of Nylon 1012 is reversible when cooling the high temperature pseudohexagonal structure to room temperature.

The crystal phase transitions of PAl 1 and its clay nanocomposites were investigated by variable-temperature X-ray diffraction. It was found that the Brill transition of the nanocomposite was 20 K higher than that of the neat PAl 1 for both heating and cooling processes. The PAl 1 d-spacings of the nanocomposites were observed to be smaller than those of the neat PAl 1 for melt crystallization. The constraints imposed by the addition of layered clay, restricting the thermal expansion of the polymer chains, are probably responsible for such a reduction of the d-spacing.展开更多
