title = "Interphase crystal structure of polyamide 6 on carbon materials revealed by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction with synchrotron radiation",
abstract = "The orientation of polyamide6 (PA6) crystallites on the surface of carbon materials was investigated through grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray diffraction (GIWAXD) on the BL46XU beam line at SPring-8. PA6 films on graphite and amorphous carbon were implemented to model the interphase of the composite with PA6 and the carbon materials. Only the α crystal was observed in the in-plane GIWAXD profile of PA6 on a graphite plate. Further, it was found that the highly oriented graphite structure induced the α crystalline form of PA6 and made the methylene chains align/orient themselves epitaxially.",

note = "Funding Information: The synchrotron radiation grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIWAXD) experiments were performed at the BL46XU of SPring-8 (Proposal No. 2010A1860) with the approval of Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI). SR experiment was partially supported by Photon and Quantum Basic Research Coordinated Development Program from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan. The authors express sincere thanks to Prof. Ken Kojio (Kyushu University) for suggestive comments.
