Introducing four different branch structures in PET by reactive processing––A rheological investigation

Abstract: Chain extension/branching by reactive processing is a well‐known method to enhance the rheological properties of polymers. In this study, pyromellitic dianhydride, poly(glycolic acid), triglycidyl isocyanurate, and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether were used as chain extender/branching agents to produce branched Polyethylene terephthalate (PETs) with four different molecular structures. According to the linear rheological characterizations, the storage modulus and complex viscosity of modified PET samples enhanced … Show more

“…One of the most frequently investigated chain extenders for PET is pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), which is a tetra‐functional, low molar mass modifier. By analyzing the linear viscoelastic properties of the modified materials in shear modes, an increase of the magnitude of the complex viscosity, a change of the phase angle versus the magnitude of the complex modulus (van Gurp‐Palmen plot), and a decrease of the loss factor with growing PMDA concentration were found 3,6,7,11,14,16,18,19 . Investigations under elongational deformation reveal a strain hardening behavior, which is more pronounced at higher PMDA concentrations and larger strain rates 11,14,16,18 .…”

“…Depending on the chemical nature and number of available functional groups of CEs, linear chain extension and/or branching of PET molecules could be observed. So far, several CEs such as bis-oxazolines [24], pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) [22], organic phosphites [25][26][27], isocyanides [28,29] and epoxides [4,5,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35] have been proposed to extend the molecules of polyesters. Among these CEs, multifunctional epoxides better known under the trade name of Joncryl® ADR are the most commonly used CEs to enhance the melt properties of PET [36].…”
