Kinetics Of

Poly(ethylene-co-isosorbide terephthalate) (PEIT) copolyesters could be used in various applications depending on their ability to crystallize. Moreover, the possibility to carry out solid-state post-condensation (SSP) is conditioned by its ability to sufficiently crystallize. The present study, thus, gives a systematic investigation of isothermal crystallization of these statistical copolyesters with isosorbide contents ranging from 4.8 to 20.8 mol.%. For each copolyester composition, the lowest isothermal half crystallization times and the highest Avrami constant (K) were obtained around 170 °C. Over the range of composition that was studied, both melting points and melting enthalpies decreased with increasing amounts of isosorbide (from 250 to 207 °C and from 55 to 28 J/g, respectively). On the contrary, half crystallization time displayed an exponential increase when increasing isosorbide contents in the studied range. Finally, structural and thermal analysis of PIT homopolyester are reported for the first time, showing that only ET moieties crystallized when PEIT was subjected to isothermal crystallization at 170 °C.

Plastics are perceived as modern and versatile materials, but their use is linked to numerous environmental issues as their production is based on finite raw materials (petroleum or natural gas). Additionally, their low biodegradability results in the accumulation of microplastics. As a result, there is extensive interest in the production of new, environmentally friendly, bio-based and biodegradable polymers. In this context, poly(ethylene vanillate) (PEV) has a great potential as a potentially bio-based alternative to poly(ethylene terephthalate); however, it has not yet been extensively studied. In the present work, the preparation of PEV is reported. The enthalpy and the entropy of fusion of the pure crystalline PEV have been estimated for the first time. Additionally, the equilibrium melting temperature has also been calculated. Furthermore, the isothermal and non-isothermal crystallization behavior are reported in detail, and new insights on the thermal stability and degradation mechanism of PEV are given.
