The blends of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) with ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer grafted with maleic anhydride (EPDM-g-MA) and organoclay(OMMT) were prepared by melt blending.The composites were characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results suggest that the PTT is immiscible with EPDM-g-MA when OMMT was added to the blends. Strorage modulus of the PTT/EPDM-g-MA/OMMT are higher than those of pure PTT. The melting point of pure PTT and blends was almost constant. The crystallinity of the blends with OMMT were higher than that of pure PTT.

Poly (ethylene terephthalate)/poly (trimethylene terephthalate) (PET/PTT) blends were prepared and their melting and crystallization properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The glass transition temperatures suggest apparently that PET and PTT have good miscibility at amorphous state. The blends with more PET content less likely undergo a melting/recrystallization process during DSC heating scan. In the blends, PET component with higher supercooling degree will crystallize first, and then the crystallites of PET will be the nucleating agents for PTT, which greatly improves the crystallization rate of PTT.
