ABSTRACT The crystallization of blends of two semi-crystalline polymers nylon-11 and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVF2) was studied. The existence of separate melting and crystallization

temperatures over the whole composition range showed that these two polymers did not co-crystallize. However, blending affected the crystallization behavior of each component. Adding

nylon-11 decreased the crystallization temperature (_T_c) of PVF2, but increased its crystallization rate. On the other hand, the _T_c of nylon-11 decreased, and its crystallization rate

decreased as well when blended with PVF2. The crystallization mechanism of both nylon-11 and PVF2 changed in the blends compared to that in the pure states. The Ozawa index, or Avrami

exponent, of PVF2 in the blend decreased from 3 to 1 as the crystallization temperature decreased from 137 °C to 131°C, compared with a decrease from 2.5 to 1.3 observed in pure PVF2 at the

temperature range from 145 °C to 135 °C. The Avrami exponent of nylon-11 in the blend decreased from 2 to 1 as the crystallization temperature decreased from 159 °C to 153 °C, compared with

a decrease from 2.5 to 0.75 observed in pure nylon-11 at the same temperature range. SIMILAR CONTENT BEING VIEWED BY OTHERS SYNERGISTIC EFFECT OF TIO2 NANOPARTICLES AND POLY
