Ionic Double Layer

The feasibility of fixing linear poly(vinyl amine) (PVAm) onto the surface of a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) foil is shown. Pretreatment of the PET foil for PVAm anchoring is UV irradiation generated by an excimer lamp (λ = 222 nm). Thereby newly formed COOH-groups are able to build up in situ an ionic double layer with PVAm by proton transfer. The properties of the modified PET foil like wetting performance and electric conductivity are significantly improved by this treatment.

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabric-reinforced polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composites have a wide range of applications, but the interface bonding of PET fabric/PVC composites has remained a challenge. In this work, a new in-situ SiO2/tributyl citrate sizing agent was synthesized according to the principle of “similar compatibility.” The developed sizing agent was used as a PET surface modifier to enhance the interfacial performance of PET fabric/PVC composites. The morphology and structure of the PET filaments, the wettability and tensile properties of the PET fabric, the interfacial adhesion, and the tensile and tearing properties of the PET fabric/PVC composites were investigated. Experimental results showed that many SiO2 nanoparticles were scattered on the surface of the modified PET filaments. Moreover, the surface roughness of the modified PET filaments remarkably increased in comparison with that of the untreated PET filaments. The contact angle of the modified PET filaments was also smaller than that of the untreated ones. The peeling strength of the modified PET fabrics/PVC composites was 0.663 N/mm, which increased by 62.50% in comparison with the peeling strength of the untreated ones (0.408 N/mm). This work provides a new approach to the surface modification of PET and improves the properties of PET fabric/PVC composites.

The Impact

In situ microfibrillation and multiflow vibrate injection molding (MFVIM) technologies were combined to control the phase morphology of blended polypropylene (PP) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), wherein PP is the majority phase. Four kinds of phase structures were formed using different processing methods. As the PET content changes, the best choice of phase structure also changes. When the PP matrix is unoriented, oriented microfibrillar PET can increase the mechanical properties at an appropriate PET content. However, if the PP matrix is an oriented structure (shish-kebab), only the use of unoriented spherical PET can significantly improve the impact strength. Besides this, the compatibilizer polyolefin grafted maleic anhydride (POE-g-MA) can cover the PET in either spherical or microfibrillar shape to form a core–shell structure, which tends to improve both the yield and impact strength. We focused on the influence of all composing aspects—fibrillation of the dispersed PET, PP matrix crystalline morphology, and compatibilized interface—on the mechanical properties of PP/PET blends as well as potential synergies between these components. Overall, we provided a theoretical basis for the mechanical recycling of immiscible blends.

Pet Crystallization

The effect of dimethyl-5-sodiosulfoisophthalate, SIP, on poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET, crystallization has been studied using in situ high-temperature x-ray diffraction, HTXRD. At low levels of SIP modification, PET-like crystallinity was observed. At high SIP levels, clustering of polyester ionomers was observed and crystallization was significantly suppressed. The HTXRD data along with differential scanning calorimetry, DSC, and small angle x-ray scattering, SAXS, indicate that the change from bulk crystallization to bulk ionomer formation occurred when 8-12 mol% of the diester linkages contained SIP.
