摘要
A mathematical model has been developed to handle the reactions in Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) undergoing polycondensation reactions in the solid state. The effect of temperature on chain mobility was considered to estimate the rate constants of chemical reactions. The polymer crystalline fraction is modeled as containing only repeat units, thus concentrating end groups and conden-sates in the amorphous fraction. This model is compared with PET reaction data with good results.
