Chitosan( CS) was used to graft onto pretreated PET fibers by sol-gel method. The transformations of surface chemical structure,microcosmic morphology and thermodynamic property were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy( FTIR),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy( XPS), scanning electron microscope( SEM), X-ray diffraction technique( XRD), and thermo gravimetric analysis( TGA),respectively. The wettability and antistatic property of PET fiber were significantly improved after modification by SE and CS.展开更多

The properties of the PET nonwoven fabric including its liquid absorptive capacity （WA）, aging behavior, surface chemical composition, morphology of the surface, adhesion strength, surface electrical resistivity and electromagnetic interference （EMI）- shielding effectiveness （SE） were studied. The liquid absorptive capacity （WA） increased due to the incorporation of oxygen-containing and nitrogen-containing functional groups on the surface of PET nonwoven fabric after DBD airplasma treatment. The surface morphology of the nonwoven fibers became rougher after plasma treatment. Therefore, the surface was more prone to absorb tin sensitizer and palladium catalyst to form an active layer for the deposition of electroless nickel. SEM and X-ray diffraction （XRD） measurements indicated that a uniform coating of nickel was formed on the PET nonwoven fabric. The average EMI-SE of Ni-plating of PET nonwoven fabric maintained a relatively stable value （38.2 dB to 37.3 dB） in a frequency range of 50 MHz to 1500 MHz. It is concluded that DBD is feasible for pretreatment of nonwoven fabric for electroless nickel plating to prepare functional material with good EMI-SE properties.展开更多

The flame retardancy and thermal property of pure PET and flame-retarded PET composites were mainly investigated. The flame retardancy was investigated by limited oxygen index( LOI) and UL-94 vertical burning test. The results showed that the composites could achieved an increased UL-94 V-0 rating and LOI value 30. 2, when the content of FR-HCCP was just 1%. The pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry( Py-GC / MS) study demonstrated that introducing FR-HCCP into PET would prevent the polymer pyrolysis during heating. TGA analysis showed that the addition of FR-HCCP could improve the char formation of the system. Roman spectra showed the order degree of residue was increasing by adding the additive. The morphology and the chemical structure of the charred residue were detected by SEMand FTIR,respectively. Results demonstrated that a good barrier was formed by the char of the composite,which protected the inside of the composite during burning.展开更多

The Avrami and Hoffman-Lauritzen secondary nucleation theories were employed to analyze the effect of high CB content on crystallization kinetics of PET, providing theoretical support for the development of masterbatch with high content of functional components. The Avrami exponents,average values of n,for PET and PET/CB masterbatch are both greater than 3, which indicates three-dimensional growth of crystals. In addition,no significant evidence for regime transition of PET is found applying Hoffman-Lauritzen secondary nucleation theory,though such observations have been reported previously in the literature. Furthermore,appropriate U* value for PET is determined to be 12 800 J/mol. For PET/CB masterbatch,a transition from regime I to regime II around 225℃ is observed with appropriate U* value (12 800 J/mol) . This phenomenon is consistent with a transition point in plot of G versus Tc . The fold surface free energy σe (100. 3 mJ/m 2) of PET is much greater than that of PET/CB masterbatch (48. 3 mJ/m 2) ,which indicates heterogeneous nucleation effect of CB particles.展开更多

The prepared DOPODOPC dispersion was applied onto PET fabrics via two kinds of processes,thermosol process and exhaustion process,and in the later using it alone or together with disperse dyes. The flame retardancy of PET fabrics was determined by limiting oxygen index( LOI) and vertical burning test. The results showed that DOPODOPC could obviously improve the flame retardancy of PET fabrics.The PET fabric treated by 60 g/L DOPO-DOPC dispersion via exhaustion process achieved an LOI value of 32. 3%,for example.The flame retardancy and dyeing performances showed that DOPODOPC dispersion could be used together with a part of disperse dyes in one bath. The thermal stability of DOPO-DOPC and the treated PET fabrics were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis( TGA). And the flame retardant mechanism of DOPO-DOPC treated PET fabrics was further investigated by pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry( Py-GC/MS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy( FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy( SEM).展开更多

The DSC and WAXD measurement and SEM observation show that liquid-induced crystallization of PET matrix has occurred during the preparation of composite films. Depending upon the equilibrium degree of swelling and crystallinity, the limited depth of penetration of pyrrole molecules results in a skin-core structure of the composite film. The skin layer containing charge transfer intercalated polypyrrole has a surface resistance of 3.5×10;Ω. Rigid and heat-resistant polypyrrole molecules formed in PET film increase the tensile modulus and, especially, the rigidity of PET at elevated temperatures. However, they decrease the tensile strength and elongation at break, and impair the thermal ductility of PET.展开更多

It is concluded that the crystallization of the blends is dependent on the contents of PET and the nuclenting agent, which affect the morphology of the blends. Under certain conditions, the blends show a complex extinction pattern, with the black cross extinction accompanying black homocentric zone and fireworks scattering form, rather than that of the common spherulite.展开更多
