Non-isothermal crystallization kinetics, melting behavior of virgin PTT and PTT nanocomposites were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry with the Avrami equation. Mechanical properties of PTT/clay nanocomposite is also described with Einstien and Guth model. The rate of crystallization and half time required for crystallization increases with increasing the cooling rate for both virgin PTT and PTT/clay nanocomposites. Virgin PTT shows the double melting behavior which changes to single melting point in prances of C30B nanoclays in the case of PTT/C30B nanocomposites. Incorporation of loading of organoclays increases the activation energy (Ea) in PTT matrix and optimum Ea was observed in PTT/C30B-based system.
