✦ Synopsis

Two chemically modified chain extended/branched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins and one unmodified resin, considered to be linear, were characterized in terms of their melt flow, die swell, and viscoelastic properties. The three resins had reportedly similar nominal intrinsic viscosities but exhibited different viscoelastic behavior. The modified resins had lower melt flow index, higher die swell, higher complex viscosity and higher storage modulus than the unmodified one. The Cole-Cole plots of the resins were independent of temperature, and the data for modified resins formed a group that lay below the data group for the unmodified PET. The distribution of relaxation times was determined. The modified resins had higher relaxation strength, G i , especially at high relaxation times, i . The mean relaxation times of the chain extended/branched resins were approximately an order of magnitude higher than that of the unmodified resin, implying pronounced elastic character. The modified resins had better foaming characteristics in extrusion foam processing than the unmodified one owing to their elastic nature.
