The research focuses on creating nylon 6 crystals through crystallization from phosphoric acid using ammonium hydroxide vapors, resulting in nylon 6 in a gamma form.
Characterization through methods like XRD and FTIR confirms the unique gamma form of the nylon 6 sample, particularly after boiling water treatment.
DSC analysis reveals two melting peaks at 213°C and 220°C due to varied lamellar thickness, with heating treatments showing changes in crystalline behavior at higher temperatures.
