Linear polyamides, commonly known as Nylons, are widely used for their high melting temperatures, heat stability, toughness and abrasion resistance, allowing diverse commercial applications such as carpets, nylon stockings and automotive parts. The work here has possible ramifications for membrane production and drug delivery systems and makes a scientific contribution to the area of binary polymer/diluent systems where the polymer is semicrystalline and the diluent crystallises at a quite different temperature to the polymer. Melt blended crystalline/crystalline systems have, so far, not received the attention that amorphous/amorphous or crystalline/amorphous systems have, perhaps due to the complexity of the morphology that often results within such systems.
