โœฆ Synopsis


Blending of thermotropic liquid crystalline polyesters (LCPs) with conventional polymers could result in materials that can be used as an alternative for short fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites, because of their low melt viscosity as well as their inherent high stiffness and strength, high use temperature, and excellent chemical resistance and low coefficient of expansion. In most of the blends was used LCP of 40 mol % of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and 60 mol % of p-acetoxybenzoic acid (PABA). In this work, blends of several copolyesters having various PABA compositions from 10 to 70 mol % and poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) were prepared and their rheological and thermal properties were investigated. For convenience, the copolyesters were designated as PETA-x, where x is the mol % of PABA. It was found that PET-60 and PET-70 copolyesters decreased the melt viscosity of PBT in the blends and those PBT/PETA-60 and PBT/PETA-70 blends showed different melt viscosity behaviors with the change in shear rate, while blends of PBT and PET-x having less than 50 mol % of PABA exhibited totally different rheological behaviors. The blends of PBT with PETA-50, PETA-60, and PETA-70 showed the morphology of multiple layers of fibers.

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

Though the structure and properties of a copolyester of 40 mole % of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and 60 mole % p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHB) (PET/ 60PHB) and their blends have been well documented, no work has been reported in an open literature on the systematic investigation of the PET copolyme
