Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), contains approximately 1.5% oligomer (cyclic trimer). When films are heated the oligomers tend to migrate out and crystallize on the surface. The isolation and identification of oligomer has been reported; the crystal structure has been studied by x-ray and electron diffraction. Except for some optical work, however, the crystal morphology of oligomer has not been carefully studied. This paper gives some results of an electron-microscopy study of the morphology of oligomer crystals.PET films were annealed in an oven at different temperatures for different lengths of time. Oligomer crystals were observed after one hour of annealing at temperatures as low as 100°C; they became visible after only a few minutes of annealing at 200°C.
