Rheology Characterization of PET／E-HDP Blending System

The melt rheological behaviors of the PET/E-HDP(for short of Easily Hydrolyzed and Easily Dyed Polyester) blending systems at different blending ratios were investigated by the capillary rheometer. The E-HDP is derived from polyethylene terephathalate (PET) modified through copolycondensation with sulfonate moiety, (sodiosulfo) isophthalate (Na-SIP) and iso-phthalic acid(IPA). The results showed that the apparent viscosity and non-Newtonian index of the PET/E-HDP blend system had the non-linearity change with the change of the blend ratio of PET/E-HDP. The anomaly of the viscous flow activation energy change was founded as the mass fraction of E-HDP was about 40% in the blend system,suggesting the presence of reversible crosslinked structure formed by strong polar tangling points and the phase separation owing to poor compatibility between the PET and
