Synthesis and Characterization of Branched Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate)

Article Preview

Abstract:

Linear and branched poly (ethylene terephthalate) were prepared by using terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol as main raw materials and pentaerythritol as polyfunctional monomer through melt polycondensation method. The samples were characterized with respect to intrinsic viscosity and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The results show that the low branched poly (ethylene terephthalate) could be obtained by the addition of tertrafunctional pentaerythritol through common melt polycondensation process.
