Abstract:

Poly(ethylene terephthalate)/layered double hydroxide(PET/LDH) nanocomposites are novel polymer based nanocomposites with enhanced properties and wide application fields. Compared with neat PET, PET/LDH nanocomposites exhibit greatly enhanced mechanical properties, thermal stability, flame retardancy and UV-shielding ability. This review reports the recent research progress in PET/LDH nano-composites. First, the composition and structure, preparation and properties of LDHs were briefly introduced. Then, the recent progress of the preparation, structure characterization, crystallization behavior, thermal stability, flame retardancy and UV-shielding properties of the PET/LDH nanocomposites were reviewed. Finally, the prospect of the nanocomposites was briefly described.

Key words: Poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET), Layered double hydroxide(LDH), Nanocomposite
