Abstract:The main objective of this work is to analyze finely the influence of cross‐linking on the mechanical properties of polybutylene terephtalate‐based vitrimers. Tensile tests were carried out at four temperatures (80, 100, 130, and 160°C) on a series of vitrimer specimens made by injection molding for which the cross‐linker concentrations were changed by small increments of 0.25%, from 0% to 2%. The displacement and strain fields were measured on the specimen surfaces through 3D digital image correlation in orde… Show more
“…Therefore, increasing research studies are devoted to converting plastics into CANs. [16][17][18][19] In our previous work, 20 PET was converted into CANs using epoxy resins and polyols containing tertiary amine structures, and the mechanical and creep-resistant properties of PET were significantly improved. In this work, PBAT was highly crosslinked to obtain CANs using a chain breaking and crosslinking process on a micro twin-screw extruder.…”
Poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) is a widely used biodegradable polymer, but its application is limited by its poor mechanical properties and barrier properties. Herein, PBAT were extruded with polyols and...
