  ABSTRACT: Polyamide prepared by the reaction of ethylene diamine with different ratios between 1,6-glyconic acid and phthalic anhydride. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is used to study the nonisothermal and isothermal crystallization of low density polyamides in phosphate glass (Pglass)-polymer hybrid blends. The % crystallinity decreased as the Pglass volume increased. The half-life (t1/2) for crystallization decreased as the propagation rate constant rose for both the polymer matrices with increasing Pglass concentrations. The results show that the Pglass is improved nucleating agent for formation of the Pglass-polymer hybrids up to 35% Pglass and the energy necessary to break decreased. The stability of the reaction of ethylene diamine with phthalic anhydride and glyconic acid was qualitatively investigated using molecular orbital calculations.
