ABSTRACTBlends of poly (ethylene terephthalate), or PET, and polycarbonate (PC) over a range of compositions were studied in isothermal crystallizations from the melt using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Both crystallization rate and degree of crystallinity of PET depend on blend composition. The glass transition temperature, Tg, of PET and PC in blends and pure polymer were also measured by DSC. Elevation of the Tg of PET and depression of the Tg of PC are observed upon blending. In cooling scans, dynamic crystallization from the melt was observed. In PET/PC blends with high PC content, a novel dual-peak crystallization of PET was observed. The effects of thermal history on crystallization kinetics and degree of crystallinity were also determined in isothermal crystallization studies. For Melt processing times between 1 and 30 Min and for processing temperatures between 280 and 300 °C, Melt processing temperature was seen to have a stronger effect than processing time.

The aim of this work is to investigate the degradation of low molar mass poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) clay nanocomposites prepared by melt processing. The rheological behavior in combination with transmission electron microscopic images suggests an intercalation and therefore a percolating network. Furthermore, the results indicate that the increase of organoclay content caused a degradation of PET during processing of PET/OMMT nanocomposites, once it was observed the PET molar mass decreases. The effect mentioned could be attributed to an increase of Brønsted acidic sites on the platelet surface, which is produced by the Hofmann elimination reaction of ammonium, and also the presence of residual metal compounds on clay surface might possibly favored the polymer matrix degradation process.

This work examines the flexural and impact behavior of self-reinforced poly(ethylene terephthalate) (srPET) composites, which were produced by film stacking from fabrics composed of braiding commingled yarns with high-tenacity PET (serving as the reinforcements) and copolymerized PET (mPET) (serving as the matrix). The influence of the hybrid yarns, fabric architectures, and processing conditions on the mechanical properties of srPETs were studied.
