“…The Supplementary Material W provides theoretical and background information that, with instructor assistance, can be used by students to help them understand and interpret the results of their experiments with the PET bottles. Also, students doing Exercise III are given references to two other documents that they are told may provide useful information for solving the assigned problem (3,4).…”

This article describes a set of demonstrations and experiments involving a polymer product that can be used in a polymer chemistry lab course or incorporated into more traditional type chemistry courses (e.g., general chemistry and instrumental analysis). Through thermal analyses of poly(ethylene terephthlate) (PET) bottles, students are introduced to the relationships between processing, morphology, and physical properties of polymer materials. Although the complete set of exercises incorporates differential scanning calorimetry, important relationships can be demonstrated with just PET bottles and a laboratory oven. A "real-world" problem-solving experience is provided through a multi-week lab project in which students assume the roles of analytical chemists for a hypothetical PET bottle manufacturer.
