Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is widely used in the packaging industry. The oxygen barrier properties of PET are acceptable for many food and beverage products, but do not meet the stringent requirements for packaging highly oxygen-sensitive products. Blending PET with aromatic polyamides, such as poly(m-xylyene adipamide) (MXD6), reduces the inherent oxygen permeability of the polyester matrix. Due to the immiscibility of these two parent polymers, a compatibilizer is necessary to achieve an efficient and stable mixing

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) nanocomposites with low loading (0.1–0.5 wt%) of graphene oxide (GO) have been prepared by usingin situpolymerization method. TEM study of nanocomposites morphology has shown uniform distribution of highly exfoliated graphene oxide nanoplatelets in PET matrix. Investigations of oxygen permeability of amorphous films of nanocomposites showed that the nanocomposites had better oxygen barrier properties than the neat PET. The improvement of oxygen permeability for PET nanocomposite films over the neat PET is approximately factors of 2–3.3. DSC study on the nonisothermal crystallization behaviors proves that GO acts as a nucleating agent to accelerate the crystallization of PET matrix. The evolution of the lamellar nanostructure of nanocomposite and neat PET was monitored by SAXS during nonisothermal crystallization from the melt. It was found that unfilled PET and nanocomposite with the highest concentration of GO (0.5 wt%) showed almost similar values of the long period (L=11.4 nm for neat PET andL=11.5 nm for PET/0.5GO).
