The main variables involved in solid-state polymerization of PET homopolymers, originally with molecular weight within the commercial range, were sequentially studied to determine their influence in polymerized products. These variables were precursor crystallinity, catalyst, and time and reaction t
The microkinetics of crystallization and the melting behavior of solid-state polymerized poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) have been studied. After correlating crystallization data with secondary nucleation theory and a single regime of growth, a positive correlation was found between molecular wei
