Abstract

It is shown that the absorbed water moisture content in both nylon 6 and nylon 66 can be detected and assessed by differential scanning calorimetry. The absorbed water gives rise to a lower endothermic peak below 100°C. There is evidence that the absorbed water is not present solely in the amorphous regions. The amount of absorbed water moisture present could be estimated from the endotherms. © 1991.
