“…In Table , the O 2 and CO 2 barrier properties of PEFTs and PEITs were collected and PET was also taken as a control. For expression convenience, besides the permeability coefficients, the Barrier Improvement Factor (BIF P ), defined as the permeability coefficient of CO 2 and O 2 in PET divided by the coefficient in other polymers was also listed. According to this definition, the higher BIF P indicates better barrier properties.…”

2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a bio‐based monomer, was taken as a sustainable alternative to isophthalic acid (IPA) for the modification of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). Results showed that FDCA was more effective than IPA in terms of reducing the crystallization activity of PET, because FDCA is more rigid and highly polar, which will hinder the PET chain packing during crystallization process. Moreover, modification of PET with FDCA resulted in copolyester with higher glass transition temperature, higher tensile modulus, better optical clarity, and gas barrier property, compared to those of IPA. With the addition of 20 mol % FDCA, the resulted copolyester poly(ethylene 2,5‐furandicarboxylate‐co‐ethylene terephthalate) (PEFT 20) was able to keep high transparency even after being annealed at 110 °C for 40 min. However, when 20 mol % of IPA was added, poly(ethylene isophthalate‐co‐ethylene terephthalate) (PEIT20) easily turned opaque under the same heat treatment. Therefore, less amount of FDCA was required in order to obtain the PET copolyester with better performance. The result indicated that FDCA had great potential to substitute IPA for the modification of PET from the point of view of industrial application. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

“…For easy expression and understanding, the Barrier Improvement Factor (BIF P ) used in the previous literatures [28][29]46], which represents the permeability coefficient of CO 2 or O 2 in PET divided by the CO 2 or O 2 permeability in other materials (PEF, PEI, PEN), was also employed in this work.…”

“…Because of the decrease in the overall percentage of amorphous phase and shift in morphology, a reduction of the average free volume and shift in the free volume distribution was observed for the PET films. Moreover, dynamic mechanical analysis at low temperatures revealed that there was a reduction in activation energy for mechanical relaxation, which was attributed to reduced vibration of PET segments and phenyl ring flipping . The formation of a tortuous path, reduction in free volume, change in free volume distribution, and reduction in local chain motion were responsible for the decrease in permeability of PET films for different gases (He, CO 2 , O 2 ) following SIC.…”

In this work, the effect of strain‐induced crystallization (SIC) on blends of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with antiplasticizers, dimethyl terephthalate, and dimethyl isophthalate has been studied. Both, inclusion of antiplasticizers and SIC affect the free volume, free volume distribution, and the barrier properties of PET. The addition of antiplasticizers and crystallization has a synergistic effect on the barrier properties and a twofold decrease in gas permeability relative to amorphous PET is observed. There is a shift in free volume and free volume distribution to smaller sizes combined with reduction in polymer segmental mobility that translates into a sharp decrease in diffusivity for all samples following SIC. While addition of antiplasticizers results in reductions in permeability, the formation of impermeable crystalline regions following SIC has the largest impact on overall permeability of the PET.
