Effect of the Presence of an Ester of Montanic Acids With Multifunctional Alcohols in the Composites of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles With Poly (Ethylene Terephthalate) in Their Non-Isothermal Crystallization

摘要

The effect of the addition of an ester of montanic acid with multifunctional alcohols in the effectiveness of the dispersion and compatibility of TiO2 nanoparticles when included as filler in poly(ethyleneterephthalate) for composite production is studied through the study of the non-isothermal crystallization by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The application of the Avrami method enables to evaluate the compatibility and the level of dispersion/aggregation of the nanofiller in the poly(ethyleneterephthalate) by the analysis of the temperature and enthalpy of crystallization, the kinetic parameters and the half-crystallization time.
