GROWTH OF NYLON 6 SINGLE CRYSTALS BY A SOLVENT-EVAPORATION METHOD

Abstract

Nylon 6 single crystals grown from dilute polymer solutions at room temperature by a sol-vent-evaporation method were briefly reported. The shape, size, and crystal habit of the crystals obtained were examined by an optical microscope, a polarizing optical microscope, and a SEM microscope. The spherulites, long crystals, romboid crystals, twin, hexagonal crystals, and octahedral crystals were found in shapeless precipitates.
