摘要

The nonisothermal crystallization behaviors for poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PEN) and poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PEN)/montmorillonite nanocomposites prepared by melt intercalation were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The Jeziorny, Ozawa, Ziabicki, and Kissinger models were used to analyze the experimental data. Both the Jeziorny and the Ozawa models were found to describe the nonisothermal crystallization processes of PEN and PEN/montmorillonite nanocomposites fairly well. The results obtained from the Jeziorny and the Ozawa analysis show that the montmorillonite nanoparticles dispersed into PEN matrix act as heterogeneous nuclei for PEN and enhance its crystallization rate, accelerating the crystallization, but a high-loading of montmorillonites restrain the crystal growth of PEN. The analysis results from the Ziabicki and the Kissinger models further verify the dual actions stated above of the montmorillonite nanoparticles in PEN matrix.
