Abstract
A methodology for the preparation of chain extended poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and its foams by autoclave batching foaming method was proposed. First, PET was mixed with tetraglycidyl diamino diphenyl methane (TGDDM) as chain extender to generate the branching/crosslinking molecular structure and improve the viscoelasticity of PET. Then, PET foams were prepared using supercritical CO2 as physical blowing agent. The molecular structures of various PET samples were characterized by the nuclear magnetic resonance, gelation degree and crosslinking density test. The results showed that with the introduction of TGDDM, the branching/crosslinking structure of PET appeared. The influences of various molecular structures on the thermal property and rheology of PET were also studied. The results showed that the crystallization temperature, crystallization rate, and crystallinity of various PET samples decreased with the content of TGDDM, but the modified PET had higher melt elasticity than that of pure PET. PET foam with the addition of 0.4% TGDDM had finer cellular morphology and the highest expansion ratio.
