Poly(ethylene terephthalate)/polycarbonate blends were produced in a twin-screw extruder with and without added transesterification catalyst, lanthanum acetyl acetonate. The miscibility of the blends was studied from their crystallisation behaviour and variation in glass transition temperature with composition using differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy and change in mechanical properties. The blends prepared without the catalyst showed completely immiscible over all compositions, while those prepared in the presence of the catalyst showed some limited miscible. The presence of PC inhibited the crystallisation of PET but this was much greater in the blends prepared in the presence of catalyst suggesting that some reaction had taken place between the two polyesters. The tensile properties showed little differences between the two types of blends. 相似文献

The morphology of PET/PC/E‐GMA‐MA blends made by different mixing sequences was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results suggest that migration of the E‐GMA‐MA copolymer from the PET phase to the PC phase occurred during the mixing of the (PET/E‐GMA‐MA) pre‐blend with the PC at 10% copolymer content. As a result of the migration, the E‐GMA‐MA particles are located in the PC phase rather than in the PET phase. This finding is not in agreement with the prediction made previously by others based on the possible reaction between the epoxy group of GMA and carboxyl group of PET. Core‐shell (PC/E‐GMA‐MA) particles formed in situ during blending and the size of the core‐shell particles was controlled by the blending sequence used. Mechanical properties of the ternary blends were tested at various temperatures. Although the blending sequence does not have a noticeable effect on the yield strength and modulus of the blends, it has a strong influence on the morphology formed, which determines the impact toughness. For blends made under optimum processing conditions, the brittle‐ductile transition occurred at a lower temperature and lower elastomer content. A study of the toughening mechanism suggested that the major toughening events were cavitation plus matrix shear yielding. It is postulated that the very high impact toughness found with the (PC/E‐GMA‐MA)/PET blend (at 10% E‐GMA‐MA) originated from the bimodal particle size distribution of the core‐shell particles formed in situ. 相似文献

A blend of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) and polycarbonate with a weight ratio of 50/50 was studied by means of differential
scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dielectric spectroscopy (DS) after melt annealing that enables transesterification. The DSC
results show that with increasing the residence time in the melt, the melting temperature and the heat of fusion of PTT crystals
decrease. Prolonged thermal treatment at 300 °C gives rise to a copolymer that no longer reveals melting or crystallization.
Additional annealing of such samples below the melting temperature of PTT results in restoration of the crystallization ability.
The amorphous phase dynamics is studied by means of DS demonstrating that the glass transition relaxations are very sensitive
to the crystallinity changes. The random copolymer is characterized by only one α-relaxation indicating a more or less homogeneous
amorphous phase. In contrast to this, the physical blend and the block copolymers show two α-relaxation processes attributed
to the existence of two amorphous fractions. Analysis of the relaxation process in terms of Vogel–Fucher–Tammann–Hesse model
reveals a correlation between the fragility parameter and the extent of trans-reaction. The crystallization kinetics of the
blocky copolymer determined from the changes of the dielectric constant with time are discussed and compared with pure PTT. 相似文献

Summary
Blends of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (R-PET) and high-density polyethylene (R-PE), obtained from post-consumer
packaging materials, were prepared both by melt mixing and extrusion processes and compatibilized by addition of various copolymers
containing functional reactive groups, such as maleic anhydride, acrylic acid and glycidyl methacrylate. The effect of the
type and concentration of compatibilizer, as well as the mixing conditions, on the phase morphology, thermal behaviour, rheological
and mechanical properties of the blends was investigated. The results indicated that addition (5÷10 pph) of ethylene-co-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer (E-GMA) allows for a marked improvement of processability and physical/mechanical performances
of R-PET/R-PE blends.

Summary In this communication the results of a series of recent studies of the morphology and deformation behavior of toughened poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)/BPA polycarbonate (PC) blends are briefly summarized. Several papers containing a more detailed account are currently in press (1–3). Among the unique morphological features of these blends are the consistent isolation of the core/shell impact modifier (IM) in the PC phase and the crystallization and phase separation of the PBT from the partially miscible PBT/PC melt on slow cooling. DSC studies provide corroborating evidence for melt miscibility of the two resins. The blends deform through a combination of cavitation and shear processes. In all cases cavitation occurs exclusively within the IM particles and is suppressed at higher PC concentrations and elevated temperatures. 相似文献

The crystallization and transition temperatures of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) in blends with polycarbonate (PC) is considered using thermal analysis. Additives typically used in commercial polyester blends, transesterification inhibitor and antioxidant, are found to enhance the crystallization rate of PET. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) reveals two glass transition temperatures in PET/PC blends, consistent with an immiscible blend. Optical microscopy observations are also consistent with an immiscible blend. Small shifts observed in the Tg of each component may be due to interactions between the phases. The degree of crystallinity of PET in PET/PC blends is significantly depressed for high PC contents. Also, in blends with PC content greater than 60 wt %, two distinct crystallization exotherms are observed in dynamic crystallization from the melt. The isothermal crystallization kinetics of PET, PET modified with blend additives, and PET in PET/PC blends have been evaluated using DSC and the data analyzed using the Avrami model. The crystallization of PET in these systems is found to deviate from the Avrami prediction in the later stages of crystallization. Isothermal crystallization data are found to superimpose when plotted as a function of time divided by crystallization half-time. A weighted series Avrami model is found to describe the crystallization of PET and PET/PC blends during all stages of crystallization. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

A compatibilization strategy for poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and polyethylene (PE) blends to achieve high toughness is described. Maleic anhydride functionalized styrene–ethylene–butylene–styrene (MA-g-SEBS) block copolymer at 20 pph was found to produce an intricate multidomain morphology in which the two major components (50% PE, 50% PET) and the compatibilizer coexist on a hierarchal order. A portion of the PET was dispersed as interconnected rodlike domains oriented along the injection direction. The rest of the PET and the PE constituted beadlike nano domains which served as the matrix. The blend at all these morphological levels responded to deformation in a cooperative fashion giving rise to a super tough material. That is, a blend whose elongation at break (600%) was superior to its two major components (90% for PET and 300% for PE). © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

The synthesis and the application of graft copolymers prepared from ozonized polyethylene (HDPE) are described. The homopolymer was treated with ozone and then copolymerized with monomers, such as methyl methacrylate, hydroxy ethyl methacrylate, glycidyl methacrylate, maleic anhydride, and ethyl acrylate. The products were used as compatibilizers in HDPE/PET [poly(ethylene terephthate)] blends. The mechanical properties and the influence of graft comonomers are described. The copolymers were characterized by the grafting rate and FTIR spectroscopy. 相似文献

Blends composed of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) as the majority component and poly(ethylene naphthalate)(PEN) as the minority component were melt-mixed in a single screw extruder at various PET/PEN compound ratios. Tensile and flexural test results reveal a good PET/PEN composition dependence, indicating that the compatibility of the blends is effective in a macrodomain. In thermal tests, single transitions for Tg, Tm and Tc (crystallization temperature), respectively, are observed from DSC as well as single Tg from DMA except for 50/50 blends. These results suggests that the compatibility is sufficient down to the submicron level. Moreover, isothermal DSC tests along with Avrami analysis indicate that PET's crystallization is significantly retarded when blended with PEN. Results in this study demonstrate that PEN is a highly promising additive to improve PET's spinnability at high speeds. 相似文献

This study investigated the effect of ultrasound irradiation on blends of polyethylene terephtalate (PET) and polycarbonate (PC). The blends of PET/PC were prepared by a twin-screw extruder with an attached ultrasonic device. Thermal, rheological, and mechanical properties and morphology of the blends with and without sonication have been analyzed. The two distinct Tgs of the blends measured by DSC showed immiscibility over all compositions. The theoretical PET content that is miscible in PC-rich phase calculated using the Fox equation showed that ultrasonic waves made the blends more miscible. From mechanical test results, when sonication was not applied, the 20/80 blend was the most miscible composition. At that composition, the impact strength of sonicated blend was surprisingly high. It was believed to be due to the enhancement of compatibility by a reaction such as transesterification. The results from the morphology of the 20/80 sonicated blend were in agreement with DSC and impact test results. 相似文献

The morphology development and crystallization behavior of an extruded poly(ethylene terephthalate)/polycarbonate blend were studied with optical microscopy, light scattering, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). During annealing at 280°C, liquid–liquid phase separation via spinodal decomposition proceeded in a melt‐extruded specimen. After the formation of the domain structure, the blend slowly underwent phase homogenization by transesterification between the two polymers. The specimen, annealed for various times (ts's) at 280°C, was subjected to a temperature drop to 180°C for the isothermal crystallization, and then the effects of liquid‐phase changes on crystallization were investigated. The crystal growth rate decreased with ts. The slow crystallization with a large ts value was associated with the composition change of the separated phases and the change of the sequence distribution in the polymer chains during annealing. The influence of ts on the endothermic behavior of the samples was examined. As ts increased, the recrystallization rate was retarded during the DSC scan, displaying multiendothermic behavior. The DSC data also suggested that the increased level of transesterification would give rise to a higher number of species being rejected from the primary crystals, leading to enhanced secondary crystallization. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The dynamic rheology and morphology of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) and maleic anhydride grafted poly(ethylene octene) composites were investigated. A specific viscoelastic phenomenon, that is, a second plateau, appeared at low frequencies and exhibited a certain dependence on the content of elastomer particles and the temperature. This phenomenon was attributed to the formation of an aggregation structure of rubber particles. The analyses of the dynamic viscoelastic functions suggested that the heterogeneity of the composites was enhanced as the particle content or temperature increased. The microstructural observation by scanning electron microscopy confirmed that maleic anhydride could react with the end groups of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) to form a stable interfacial layer and result in a smaller dispersed‐phase particle size due to the reduced interface tension. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT)/polycarbonate (PC) blends with different compositions were prepared by melt blending.
The miscibility and phase behavior of melt-quenched and cold-crystallized blends were studied using differential scanning
calorimetry (DSC) and dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. The blends of all compositions display only one glass transition
(T
g
) in both states. The melting temperature and the crystallinity of PTT in the blend decrease with increasing PC content. The
dielectric results for the melt-quenched blends, for PC content up to 60 wt.%, exhibited two merged relaxation peaks during
the heating scan; the lower temperature relaxation peak represent the normal glass-transition (α) relaxation of the mixed
amorphous phase and the higher temperature relaxation due to the new-constrained mixed amorphous phase after crystallization.
Cold-crystallized blends displayed only one glass transition α-relaxation whose temperatures varied with composition in manner
similar to that observed by DSC. The dielectric α-relaxation of cold crystallized blends has been analyzed. Parameters relating
to relaxation broadening, dielectric relaxation strength, and activation energy were quantified and were found to be composition
dependent. The PTT/PC blends could be considered as two-phase system, a crystalline PTT phase and a mixed amorphous phase
consisting of a miscible mixture of the two polymers. However, the crystallinity was only detected for blends containing greater
than 40 wt.% PTT. 相似文献

Rheo-optical Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is based on the simultaneous acquisition of stress-strain data and FTIR spectra on-line to the mechanical treatment of polymers and is frequently applied for the characterization of transient structural changes during deformation and stress-relaxation. In the present communication, this technique has been employed in order to investigate the distribution of molecular orientation and its relaxation in uniaxially drawn solution-cast films of semicrystalline partial miscible blends of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) with polycarbonate (PC) containing 10, 30 and 50 wt% PC. The uniaxial deformation of these blend films having a PBT-crystallinity degree ranging from 31 to 12%, in unstretched blends, leads to a appreciable high segmental orientation for the crystalline PBT due to a structural transformation from lamellae to microfibrils. The formation of this fibrillar structure is attributed to non-reversibility of an extended phase with all-trans conformational sequence of the aliphatic segments of PBT, occurring during elongation. The rate of relaxation of this conformational transition, however, increases with increasing amorphous content in the blends. Also it is observed that even with increasing amorphous content in the PBT/PC blends the crystalline PBT shows significant orientation. In such cases, apart from the few lamellae which transform to microfibrils, it is suggested that a stress induced transformation of PBT chains in amorphous PBT-component to irreversible all-trans extended crystalline form also contributes to PBT crystalline orientation. In contrast with this high crystalline orientation, the amorphous PBT located in the interlamellar regions inside the PBT-spherulites show a lower orientation in blends as compared in pure PBT.On the other hand, an overall segmental orientation of PC chains in blends is of lower order which is attributed mainly to low stretching temperature compared to Tg of pure PC. The results are discussed in terms of the resulting spherulitic morphology and the temporary network formed by the elongated PBT and PC chains inside the interlamellar regions, in blends. 相似文献

The reactive compatibilization effect of a small molecule, bismaleimide (BMI), on poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)/low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and PBT/ethylene propylene diene (EPDM) rubber blends were investigated. All the blends were prepared by melt blending in the mixing chamber of a Haake Rheocord. The particle size of dispersed phase was reduced by >ten times by adding 1.2 wt % of BMI as observed with scanning electron microscopy. The torque‐time curve recorded during mixing showed that the addition of BMI leads to a significant increase in the viscosity of PBT, LDPE, EPDM, and the blends. This indicates that a chemical reaction has taken place. It was confirmed that free radicals are involved in the reactions because the addition of a stabilizer to the blends has removed all the compatibilizing effect, and the torque‐time curve does not show any increase in viscosity. A possible mechanism of compatibilization is proposed. The shear forces during melt mixing cause the rupture of chemical bond in the polymers, which form macroradicals of PBT, LDPE, or EPDM. These macroradicals react with BMI to form PBT‐BMI‐LDPE or PBT‐BMI‐EPDM copolymers. These in situ‐formed copolymers act as compatibilizers to give a significant refinement of the blend morphology. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 71: 2049–2057, 1999 相似文献

The miscibility and melting behavior of binary crystalline blends of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) have been investigated with differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscope. The blends exhibit a single composition‐dependent glass transition temperature (Tg) and the measured Tg fit well with the predicted Tg value by the Fox equation and Gordon‐Taylor equation. In addition to that, a single composition‐dependent cold crystallization temperature (Tcc) value can be observed and it decreases nearly linearly with the low Tg component, PTT, which can also be taken as a valid supportive evidence for miscibility. The SEM graphs showed complete homogeneity in the fractured surfaces of the quenched PET/PTT blends, which provided morphology evidence of a total miscibility of PET/PTT blend in amorphous state at all compositions. The polymer–polymer interaction parameter, χ12, calculated from equilibrium melting temperature depression of the PET component was ?0.1634, revealing miscibility of PET/PTT blends in the melting state. The melting crystallization temperature (Tmc) of the blends decreased with an increase of the minor component and the 50/50 sample showed the lowest Tmc value, which is also related to its miscible nature in the melting state. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Summary Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements have been carried out on a number of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)/BPA polycarbonate (PC) blends prepared by melt compounding and solution casting from hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP). The results clearly indicate that appreciable mixing of the two polymers takes place in the melt phase whereas complete separation is observed in cast films. The failure of the casting procedure to mimic the melt blending results is related in part to liquid-liquid phase separation and to crystallization of both polymers from the casting solvent. 相似文献

Properties of recycled Poly(ethylene terephthalate) were greatly improved. Recycled PET was blended with LLDPE‐g‐MA by low‐temperature solid‐state extrusion. Mechanical properties of the blends were affected obviously by the added LLDPE‐g‐MA. Elongation at break reaches 352.8% when the blend contains 10 wt % LLDPE‐g‐MA. Crystallization behavior of PET phase was affected by LLDPE‐g‐MA content. Crystallinity of PET decreased with the increase of LLDPE‐g‐MA content. FTIR testified that maleic anhydride group in LLDPE‐g‐MA reacted with the end hydroxyl groups of PET and PET‐co‐LLDPE‐g‐MA copolymers were in situ synthesized. SEM micrographs display that LLDPE‐g‐MA phase and PET phase are incompatible and the compatibility of the blends can be improved by the forming of PET‐co‐LLDPE‐g‐MA copolymer. LLDPE‐g‐MA content was less, the LLDPE‐g‐MA phase dispersed in PET matrix fine. With the increase of LLDPE‐g‐MA content, the morphology of dispersed LLDPE‐g‐MA phase changed from spherule to cigar bar, then to irregular spherule. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Summary Miscibility of blends of poly(ether imide) (PEI) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Single and composition-dependent Tg's are observed over the entire composition range, indicating that the blends are miscible in the amorphous region. The overall crystallization rate of PET in the blends decreased with increasing the PEI content. The interaction energy density B, which was calculated from the melting point depression of the blends using Nishi-Wang equation, was-5.5 cal/cm3. 相似文献
