Abstract
- The elastic modulus ( E<subscript> l</subscript>) of crystalline regions in the direction parallel to the chain axis in a new semiaromatic polyamide 9-T (PA9-T) containing a long aliphatic chain unit was measured by X-ray diffraction and the derived E<subscript> l</subscript> value was discussed in terms of its molecular conformation and mechanical properties. For low and high molecular weight PA9-Ts, the E<subscript> l</subscript> value of 40 GPa was obtained. The low E<subscript> l</subscript> value for PA9-T is due to the presence of aromatic groups with long crankshaft arms, which result in a greater moment of force during deformation compared with those polymers with planner zigzag molecular conformation like polyethylene and nylon 6 α-form. Another factor for the low E<subscript> l</subscript> is due to the contraction of its molecular chains that is likely originated from the existence of a torsional conformation. The presence of contraction causes some internal rotation in the polymer chain during extensional deformation, which results in low E<subscript> l</subscript>. POLYM. ENG.
