The crystallization behavior of polyamide 6,6 (PA66) under complex flow field is of great importance for its final mechanical properties. Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) was applied as crystallization modifying agency to improve processability of PA66. The regulation nature on hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) interaction of PVP was studied upon cooling process. As revealed by in situ FTIR, the sample with 5 wt% PVP displays decreased enthalpy change (ΔH) for both the generation of H-bonds and the transition of H-bonds from "disordered" to "ordered" state, which illustrates the molecular mechanism for the regulation of crystallzation behavior. Moveover, 2D-WAXD is applied to reveal the evolution of microstructure for sample under external injection field. Hermans orientation factor (f
H ) decreases obviously with the addition of PVP, because the relaxation of chain segments is promoted as well the crystallization is retarded. The above crystallization and microstructure changes during the processing provokes the improvement of processability without the apparent sacrifice of mechanical properties.
