Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate) /Al₂O₃ Nanocomposites

Abstract:

Poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET)/Al₂O₃ nanocomposites via in situ polymerization were studied. The nanoparticle loading was varied from 0.3 to 1 wt.%. From the DSC results, no significant differences were recorded for melting temperatures. However, simple added PET/Al₂O₃ nanocomposites slightly changed to the lower melting temperature. Morphology of the nanocomposites has been examined by SEM. From the SEM results revealed that dispersed Al₂O₃nanoparticles in the EG (ethylene glycol) during the polymerization can be well dispersed in PET matrix.
