Abstract:

Effects of annealing temperature and annealing time on the glass transition of PET in the Recycle-polycethylene terephatalate(R-PET)/LLDPE-g-MA blends were investigated by DSC. The sub-Tg annealing leads to the enthalpy relaxation in the glass transition region of PET. The Tg of PET shifts to higher temperature with the increase of annealing temperature. The Tg of PET tends to be stable in the blends annealed at 50—70 ℃ for more than 48 h. After above-Tg annealing below 100 ℃, two heat flow transitions of PET appear around the Tg of PET. FTIR results show that molecular conformation of PET begin to change. However, the glass transition of PET disappears in the blend annealed at 100 ℃, and WAXD results show that the crystallinity of PET increases obviously, indicating that the Tcc,on of PET is between 90—100 ℃.
