Abstract. Poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET)/poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) and PET/PTT /montmorillonite(MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending through a co-rotating twin screw extruder. Their morphology was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM). And the nonisothermal crystallization behavior was studied by Differential Scanning Calorimetry(DSC). The results indicated that MMT dispersed homogeneously in the PTT matrix; the crystallization onset temperature(Tonset) and the crystallization peak temperature(Tp) in crystallization exotherms of PET/ PTT/MMT nanocomposites shifted to higher temperature as MMT content increased, which proved MMT acted as heterogeneous nucleating agent, and the crystallization behavior became imperfect as the cooling rate increased.

Kinetics Of

This article reports the nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) nanocomposites. The non-isothermal crystallization behaviors of PET and the nanocomposite samples are studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Various models, namely the Avrami method, the Ozawa method, and the combined Avrami-Ozawa method, are applied to describe the kinetics of the non-isothermal crystallization. The combined Avrami and Ozawa models proposed by Liu and Mo also fit with the experimental data. Different kinetic parameters determined from these models prove that in nanocomposite samples intercalated silicate particles are efficient to start crystallization earlier by nucleation, however, the crystal growth decrease in nanocomposites due to the intercalation of polymer chains in the silicate galleries. Polarized optical microscopy (POM) observations also support the DSCresults. The activation energies for crystallization has been estimated on the basis of three models such as Augis–Bennett, Kissinger and Takhor methods follow the trend PET/2C20A<PET/1.3C20A<PET, indicating incorporation of organoclay enhance the crystallization by offering large surface area.

The Impact

Blends based on maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (MAPE) and poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) were prepared through reactive extrusion in the presence of titanium tetrabutoxide (Ti(OBu)4) as transesterification catalyst. Mechanical properties of PET/MAPE blends(70wt./30wt.) were evaluated by mechanical tests. The Effects of Ti(OBu)4 on the structure and melt crystallization behavior of the blends were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The addition of Ti(OBu)4 to the blends could improve the compatibility between PET and MAPE as was evidenced by the SEM micrograph in which filaments connected to a network structure was observed. With increasing the contents of Ti(OBu)4, the impact strength of the blends increased obviously, the flexural strength and tensile strength of blends did not change significantly, while the degradation of PET was gradually significant as was evidenced by FTIR analysis. Small amount of Ti(OBu)4 could hinder the crystallization of PET and make its melt peak shifted to higher temperature.

In this study, not only was the similar terephthalate structure between UIO-66 and PET utilized to improve compatibility, but the Zr4+ exposed by defects of UIO-66 was also utilized to improve the interaction between PET and UIO-66. Furthermore, PET nanocomposites with different contents of UIO-66 were also fabricated. Due to the high specific surface area and coordination of Zr4+, UIO-66 has high nucleation efficiency in the PET matrix. Compared with pure PET, the crystallization rate of PET/UIO-66 nanocomposite is significantly increased, and the crystallization temperature of PET-UIO66-1 is significantly increased from 194.3 °C to 211.6 °C. In addition, the tensile strength of nanocomposites has also been improved due to coordination.

AbstractPoly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/Attapulgite (AT) nanocomposites were prepared via in-situ polymerization. According to the observation of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), attapulgite is well dispersed in the PET matrix in a nanometer scale. The influence of attapulgite content on the nonisothermal crystallization kinetics was studied using a classical Avrami equation with Jeziorny method. The crystalline structures of the pure PET and PET/AT nanocomposites with different amount of AT (0.2%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%) were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. It was found that the crystallization temperature for PET/AT nanocomposites with 0.2% and 0.5% content of AT were higher than pure PET and the rate of crystallization of all PET/AT nanocomposite samples increased significantly which indicated that attapulgite could be used as an effective nucleating agent in PET. However, with the addition of AT, smaller crystalline size, more crystalline defects and lower degree of crystallization was demonstrated.

Maleic anhydride-grafted carbon fiber (CF- g-MAH) was prepared by a solid-phase grafting method. The rheological behavior, morphology, mechanical properties, and nonisothermal crystallization behavior of pure poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and PET/CF and PET/CF- g-MAH composites were investigated. The rheological analyses and mechanical tests show that the addition of CF or CF- g-MAH increased the complex viscosity and mechanical properties of PET. The morphology observations confirm that the introduction of the MAH group on the surfaces of the CF enhanced the interactions between the CF and PET, resulting in the fine dispersion of CF- g-MAH in the PET matrix. In addition, the analyses of the nonisothermal crystallization behavior of pure PET and the PET/CF and PET/CF- g-MAH composites show that CF or CF- g-MAH can act as a heterogeneous nucleating agent in PET and accelerate its crystallization. Compared to CF, CF- g-MAH is a more effective nucleator for PET.
