SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERATION OF POLY(ETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE-co-ETHYLENE 2,5-FURANDICARBOXYLATE)

Morphology and properties of microfibrillar composites based on recycled poly (ethylene terephthalate) and high density polyethylene

Microfibrillar composites (MFCs) from recycled high density polyethylene (R-HDPE)/recycled poly (ethylene terephthalate) (R-PET) (75/25 w/w) were made through reactive extrusion and post-extrusion strand stretching. The resultant MFCs could be processed at HDPE processing temperature. The compatibility between microfibers and R-HDPE matrix was improved through compatibilizers. Of the three comp...

Phase Structure and Properties of Poly(ethylene terephthalate)/High-Density Polyethylene Based on Recycled Materials

Blends based on recycled high density polyethylene (R-HDPE) and recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (R-PET) were made through reactive extrusion. The effects of maleated polyethylene (PE-g-MA), triblock copolymer of styrene and ethylene/butylene (SEBS), and 4,40-methylenedi(phenyl isocyanate) (MDI) on blend properties were studied. The 2% PE-g-MA improved the compatibility of R-HDPE and R-PET...

Wood plastic composites based on microfibrillar blends of high density polyethylene/poly(ethylene terephthalate).

High-melting-temperature poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was successfully introduced into wood plastic composites through a two-step reactive extrusion technology. Wood flour was added into pre-prepared PET/high density polyethylene (HDPE) microfibrillar blends (MFBs) in the second extrusion at the temperature for processing HDPE. Addition of 25% in situ formed PET microfibers obviously incr...

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Film Recycling

Immobilization of silver nanoparticles on polyethylene terephthalate

Two different procedures of grafting with silver nanoparticles (AgNP) of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), activated by plasma treatment, are studied. In the first procedure, the PET foil was grafted with biphenyl-4,4'-dithiol and subsequently with silver nanoparticles. In the second one, the PET foil was grafted with silver nanoparticles previously coated with the same dithiol. X-ray photoelec...
