An aliphatic/aromatic polyester blend has been dealt with in this study. As an aliphatic polyester, poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) was used, which is thought to possess biodegradability, but it is relatively expensive. It has been blended with poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) in order to obtain a

β¦ Synopsis
Fluorinated poly(buty1ene terephthalate) (PBT) can be easily prepared using a telechelic perfluoropolyether (PFPE) as a comonomer. The functional groups of the PFPE react completely with other monomers, but the distribution of the PFPE blocks is not homogeneous and in the final polymeric material there is a significant fraction of PFPE bonded to very short segments of polyester. Due to the very poor miscibility of PFPE and PBT, the PFPE is present as a separate phase dispersed in an almost pure P B T matrix. Accordingly, both thermal and mechanical properties of P B T are little affected by the PFPE. The presence of PFPE induces a slight improvement on the fracture resistance and on surface properties such as wear resistance and coefficient of friction.

The torsional behavior of poly(ether ester) (PEE) thermoplastic elastomer, based on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) was studied and compared with that of PBT itself. Two types of experiments were performed: (1) stress relaxation in torsion, and (2) measurement of

The concept of the drawing of a molecular network has been employed to derive a total network draw ratio from the combination of the two deformations occurring in the production of poly(butylene terephthalate), PBT, fibers by the consecutive processes of melt spinning and cold drawing.

In this work, blends of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) were prepared. LLDPE was used as an impact modifier. Since the system was found to be incompatible, compatibilization was sought for by the addition of the following two types of functionalized pol
