Abstract
A series of poly(hexamethylene terephthalate-co-hexamethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (P(HT-co-HN)) random copolymers were synthesized by melt polycondensation and characterized using H-1 NMR spectroscopy and viscometry. Their cocrystallization behavior was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) method. Even though the P(HT-co-HN) copolymers synthesized are statistically random copolymers, they show a clear melting and a crystallization peak in DSC thermograms over the entire range of copolymer composition and have a minimum melting temperature in the plot of melting temperature versus copolymer composition. WAXD patterns of all the copolymer samples show sharp diffraction peaks and are largely divided into two groups, i.e. PHT type and PHN type crystals. In addition, WAXD patterns of the PHN type crystals are subdivided into two types of PHN alpha and PHN beta according to the copolymer composition. These facts indicate that the P(HT-co-HN) copolymers show isodimorphic cocrystallization. The composition at which the crystal transition between PUT type and PHN type occurs is equivalent to the eutectic composition (22 mol% HN content) for the melting temperature. When the defect free energies were calculated by using the equilibrium inclusion model proposed by Wendling and Suter, the defect free energies in the case of incorporation of HT units in the PHN alpha and beta crystals were higher than the case of incorporation of HN units in the PHT crystal lattice.
