## Abstract Addition of red phosphorus in concentrations of about 4% to poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) reduces the flammability of that polymer. The rates of flame propagation and the ignitability are reduced, while the oxygen index (O.I.) is increased. The surface temperature of burning PET am

The temperature influence on the thermal degradation products evolved from poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was investigated. The experiments were carried out within the temperature range of 200-700ΠC in air. The main volatile toxic products and weight losses during thermal degradation of PET were
## Abstract The effect of various organic compounds on the birefringence equilibrium shrinkage and swelling of poly(ethylene terephthalate) filaments was studied. Evidence is presented that suggests the carrier action of the compounds is dominated by dispersion forces and that interaction between d
