Liquid Crystalline PET/60HBA-MWNTs Composite: Synthesis, Characterization, and Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

PET/60HBA-MWNTs Liquid Crystalline Polyester (LCP) composite was synthesis by melting polymerization process with a novel method of reacting in acetic anhydride solution. FTIR, XRD, POM, TGA and mechanical properties tests were applied for the characterization of modification of nanotube, crystallization property, thermal and mechanical properties. The results indicate that thermal and mechanical properties of LCP polyester are all enhanced with 0.3wt% MWNTs addition. The degradation temperature (Td) increased for 8°C and the modules, strength and breaking elongation are increased by 39.0%, 62.3% and 46.4% respectively.
