Study on micro-phase separation structure of poly(ethylene terephthalate)-poly(hexylene terephthalate) (PET-PCT) copolymer [PDF]

e-Polymers, 2010
Abstract PET-PCT copolyesters were prepared from terephthalic acid (PTA), ethylene glycol (EG) and 1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol (CHDM) through direct esterification and the subsequent polycondensation. The chemical composition and sequence length distribution of the copolyesters were investigated by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR.
