Morphology and Properties of Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate
Abstract
dc:descriptionPhysical and mechanical properties of amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (PET) have been measured. A uniform morphology was observed when PET thin film (ca. 1000 (ANGSTROM)) was ultraquenched from above its equilibrium melting temperature. Sufficiently rapid quenching rate below T(,g) and heating above the critical temperature before quenching were identified as necessary conditions to produce uniform morphology. Under other conditions, a conventional nodular morphology was observed.
