Studying dynamic crystallization from melt to solid state may extend the general understanding of the crystallization behavior of polymers. In this work, non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of copolyamide 6/12 (CoPA6/12) with different copolymerization ratios were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Jeziorny modified Avrami equation, Ozawa equation and Liu-Mo’s method were applied to analyze the nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of CoPA6/12. The crystallization activation energy was evaluated using both Kissinger and Friedman methods. Results show that the incorporation of ω-laurolactam (LL) into polyamide 6 (PA6) decreases crystallization rate and increases crystallization activation energy.
