摘要: A series of co[poly(ethylene terephthalate-p-oxybenzoate)] copolyesters, viz., P28, P46, P64, and P82, were synthesized. These copolyesters were blended with poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) at the level of 10 wt % at 293 degrees C for different times. The results from proton NMR analysis reveal that a significant amount of the transesterification has been detected in the cases of PET/P28, PET/P46, and PET/P64 blends. The blending time necessary before any transesterification reaction could be detected depends on the composition of copolyester, e.g., a time less than 3 min is needed for both PET/P28 and PET/P46 blends, while a longer time of 8-20 min is needed for the PET/P64 blend. It is concluded that the higher the mol ratio of the POB moiety in the copolyester is the longer the blending time needed to initiate the transesterification. The degree of transesterification is also increased as the duration of melt blending is prolonged. Two-phase morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs in all the blends. It was observed that the more similar the composition between the copolyester and PET in the blends is the better the miscibility or interfacial adhesion between the two phases. Moreover, the miscibility can be markedly improved by the duration of melt blending. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
