"Compatibility analysis of Nylon 6 and poly(ethylene-n-butyl acrylate-maleic anhydride) elastomer blends using isothermal crystallization kinetics", Materials Chemistry and Physics, Vol 122, No. 1, pp. 93-101, (2010).Compatibility Analysis Of Nylon 6 and Poly(Ethylene-N-Butyl Acrylate-Maleic Anhydride) Elastomer Blends Using Isothermal Crystallization Kinetics(Elsevier Science SA, 2010) Biber, Erkan; Maviş, Bora; Gündüz, Güngör; Çolak, Üner; 169408Nylon 6 is a widely used engineering polymer, and has relatively poor impact strength. Ethylene, n-Butyl acrylate, maleic anhydride (E-nBA-MAH) terpolymer is blended with Nylon 6 to enhance its impact strength. Mixture should be compatible to be used in applications. The bare interaction energy between Nylon 6 and E-nBA-MAH terpolymer is calculated according to melting point depression approach using both Flory-Huggins (FH) Theory and Sanchez-Lacombe Equation of State (SL EOS). It demonstrates that blends are thermodynamically favorable to any arrangements. Yet, isothermal crystallization kinetics and WAXS crystallization peaks of blends reveal that mixtures of various compositions have different crystallization behaviors and require alternating crystallization energy due to crystalline structures of individual polymers. Also, SEM images support that after 5% addition of elastomeric terpolymer, interaction loosens due to strong crystalline structure of Nylon 6. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Effects of electrospinning process parameters on nanofibers obtained from Nylon 6 and poly (ethylene-n-butyl acrylate-maleic anhydride) elastomer blends using Johnson S-B statistical distribution function. Applied Physics A Materials Science&Processing, 99(2), 477-487. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00339-010-5559-6Effects of electrospinning process parameters on nanofibers obtained from Nylon 6 and poly (ethylene-n-butyl acrylate-maleic anhydride) elastomer blends using Johnson S-B statistical distribution function(Springer, 2010) Biber, Erkan; Gündüz, Güngör; Maviş, Bora; Çolak, Üner; 169408; 169746The impact strength of Nylon 6 can be further improved by blending it with ethylene-butyl acrylate-maleic anhydride elastomer. The blending is achieved in solution phase. Due to incompatibility of Nylon 6 and the elastomer, a special mixture of solvents is used to dissolve both components. The solution is electrospun, and the effects of the process parameters on the expected radii of nanofibers are investigated. The effects of process parameters such as polymer concentration in solution, electrical field, diameter of the syringe needle, feed rate, and collector geometry on nanofibers were investigated. Statistical analysis is carried out using the Johnson S-B distribution. A relation is proposed to relate the effect of the process parameters feed rate, electrical voltage, and tip to collector distance on the expected diameter of fibers. It is found that concentration and electrical field have a profound effect on the diameter of fibers compared to those of the syringe diameter and feed rate
