Abstract

Time-resolved light scattering has been employed to elucidate the dynamics of phase segregation of poly-p-phenylene terephthalamide (PPTA)/ amorphous nylon (AN) molecular composites. Miscible PPTA/AN blends can be prepared from sulfuric acid solution by rapidly coagulating the solution in distilled water. The composites, however, undergo phase segregation upon thermal treatment and exhibit a miscibility window reminiscent of a lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Several temperature-jump experiments were undertaken from ambient to a two-phase temperature region of 240, 250 and 260°C. Time-evolution of scattering profiles are analyzed in accordance with non-linear and dynamical scaling theories.
