A nanocomposite catalyst was prepared from immobilization of aluminum oxide hydroxide onto the attapulgite for synthesis of Poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis was used to investigate the crystallization properties of PET obtained by using the different catalysts, and the results showed that PET obtained by using the as-prepared catalyst exhibited higher crystallization crystallizability under applied conditions.

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.

Antistatic packagings are very important for proper transportation and storage of electronic components since these components can be damaged with electric overloads generated through rubbing. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop an innovative material for antistatic packaging with a sustainable character. For this, a blend of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), polycarbonate (PC), and polyaniline (PAni) was prepared by melt extrusion. Samples have a final content of 68 wt% of PET, 29 wt% of PC, and 3 wt% of PAni doped with cobalt (PAni-Co). The properties were determined by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, tensile testing, electrical resistivity analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. To the best of our knowledge, no previous work studied the incorporation of PAni-Co in PET/PC blend.
