Abstract:The blends of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with glass-filled thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (LCP-g) was prepared by a melt mixing technique. The rheological, crystalline, thermal, dynamic mechanical, and morphological characteristics of these blends were investigated. The viscosity of the blends was higher than PBT in the whole shear rate range. At low shear rate, the viscosity of blends decreased with LCP concentration. Higher percent crystallinity was observed with increasing LCP-g content in th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
