Abstract

A structural study of nylon 13,13 has been carried out by means of X-rays and electron microscopy. Both X-ray and electron diffraction data, obtained from oriented films as well as from lamellar crystals prepared in solution, evidenced that nylon 13,13 adopts a γ structure in a monoclinic lattice of parameters a o=0.488 nm, b o=0.473 nm, c o=3.40 nm, α=β=90°, γ=121°. As expected from the constitution of the nylon, no trace of structure with chains in fully extended conformation (α-form) was observed throughout this study.
