Summary

Non-isothermal crystallization behavior of Poly(ethylene terephthalate)/Poly(trimethylene terephthalate) blends was investigated by XRD and DSC. By XRD spectra analysis, it could be concluded that PET and PTT crystals coexisted. They did not form the cocrystals due to different chemical structures. The Avrami equations modified by Jeziorny and Ziabicki’s kinetic crystallizability analysis were employed to describe the non-isothermal crystallization process of PET/PTT blends. The results suggested that the entanglement of the two polymer chains decrease the crystallizability of PET and PTT in blend. The crystallization activation energies of the blend evaluated by the Friedman method also indicated that the presence of two components in the blends hinders the crystallization process of both components.
