Morphology and mechanical properties of PET by incorporation of amine-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane

Property enhancement of soy protein isolate-based films by introducing POSS

“…Since polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) is a three-dimensional structurally cagelike molecule [20], several polymeric systems have been taken into account incorporating POSS cages both in thermoplastics and thermosetting matrices, such as polyolefins, polyamides, polyesters, and in thermosets, mainly epoxy resins [20][21][22][23][24].…”

Rod like attapulgite/poly(ethylene terephthalate) nanocomposites with chemical bonding between the polymer chain and the filler

“…However, numerous shortcomings such as low rate of crystallization, long cycle times for injection moulding, low melt strength and low distortion temperature limit its application [1,2]. To meet the practical needs and improve its performance, the addition of inorganic filler into PET matrix has been a research focus, and dramatic enhancements in properties such as their mechanical, gas barrier property and thermal property can be achieved [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. These enhancements result from homogeneous dispersion of nanoparticles in polymer matrix and the interaction between the nanoparticles and PET matrix.…”

Synergistic effects of a novel silicon‐containing triazine charring agent on the flame‐retardant properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate)/hexakis (4‐phenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene composites

“…It was suggested that PNCP containing phenyl groups acted as a lubricant, increased the segmental mobility [41]. Meanwhile, the T g of PET/10%IFR was 84.68C with a increase of 7.38C from PET/ 10%PNCP, because a strong confinement effect of TSCA to the PET chains decreased the segmental mobility by the reaction between the amino groups of TSCA and the terminal carboxyl of the PET chains during the process of melt blending [42]. Furthermore, the typical stress-strain behaviors for PET and PET composites were presented in Fig.…”
