Non-isothermal crystallization kinetics and rheological behaviors of PBT/PET blends: effects of PET property and nano-silica content
PBT and PET are subjected to thermal-oxidative degradation and thermomechanical degradation during the process of melt blending, which affect the polymer structure and properties. The effect of feed properties of PET and the addition of modified nanoparticles on blends are a question worthy of discussion. This work describes the melting and thermal stability, the crystallization behavior and non-isothermal crystallization kinetic, the rheological behaviors and mechanical properties of several PBT/PET blends prepared by twin-screw melt extrusion. Results show that the molecular chain of the polyester blends obtained by stable extrusion are not significantly degraded, there is only one obvious melting peak and crystallization peak on the thermal analysis curves, and the melting point is lower than either of the two polyesters. An appropriate amount of SD can effectively reduce the crystallization rate of the PBT material and extend the crystallization time. The rheological behavior of PBT/PET blends is complicated than PET raw materials and SD, as well as the melt processing temperature and shear rate will all affect the rheological behavior of the blends. For example, at low shear rate, polyester blends with SD exhibit strong shear thinning behavior. In general, the SD content affects the rheological property of blends in a way similar to the law of influence on crystallization behavior. When SD content is 0.3 wt%, a polyester product with higher elongation at break than pure PBT can be obtained. This can provide a useful reference for preparing commercialized polyester blend products with good melt processability and elongation by simple blending.
