Additive-Induced Crystallization Behavior in Semi-Crystalline Polyamides

Abstract

Crystallization behavior of polyamide 6 was modified using small-molecule nucleating additives. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed enhanced crystallization rates, promoting superior thermal and dimensional stability in molded parts. The implications of these findings extend across various industrial applications including packaging, biomedical devices, automotive parts, and construction materials. Future work will focus on scaling synthesis methods, evaluating environmental stability, and conducting long-term performance tests. The results contribute to the growing body of research on additive-enhanced polymers and open avenues for optimizing their use under practical service conditions.
