Crystallization and Properties of Poly(ethylene 2,6-Naphthalate)/Poly(trimethylene Terephthalate) Blends

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The crystallization behavior of poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate)/poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PEN/PTT) blends is investigated by scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The isothermal crystallization kinetics of PEN/PTT blends is analyzed from 220° to 240°C using the Avrami equation for various compositions. The results of DMA indicate that PEN/PTT blends are immiscible. Nevertheless, small amounts of PTT can increase the crystallization rate of PEN and reduce the amount of less perfect PEN crystals in PEN/PTT blends.
