Effect of pressure on the crystallization of poly(ethylene terephthalate)

Abstract: The effect of pressure on the crystallization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was studied. The Instron capillary rheometer was adapted as a high‐pressure/high‐temperature dilatometer to carry on experiments up to 40,000 psi. Isothermal measurements of PET melt density were made with a precision of ±0.5%. Analysis of the kinetics of crystallization of PET melt at high pressures reaffirmed the existence of low Avrami exponents and their noninteger values. To rationalize the crystallization mechanism with t… Show more

“…As may be observed, the volume deformation k is larger the higher the pressure and the lower the temperature. There are two plateau regions [5] (see also figures 4 and 5) in which the behavior seems to be viscoelastic (one at high temperature and low pressure corresponding to pure melt behavior, and another at low temperatures, high pressures, and long times, corresponding to pseudoequilibrium crystalline solid state) separated by a change of slope zone in which the isothermal rise of the pressure of the melt has as direct effect a rise in the melting temperature of th'e polymer T m to a new value T" such as the Tex v < T,~ and, therefore, crystallization from the melt begins [5,8].…”
