AMORPHIZATION OF POLYETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE IN BLENDS WITH PET-G CONTAINING A CHAIN EXTENDER
Abstract
The present article studies the structural features of relaxation, mechanical and rheological properties of blends of crystallizing PET and amorphous PET-G containing 0.9 wt. % of a diisocyanate chain extender (CE). The analyzed materials were obtained by melt mixing in a twin-screw reactor-mixer with one-sided rotation of screws. It was shown that at a concentration of PET-G in a blend of ≥70 wt. % by weight, the crystallization of PET added with CE is completely suppressed. According to relaxation spectrometry, PET and PET-G are compatible when they are mixed in melt.
