Descripción
There are different methods for improving the properties of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (rPET), including solid state polymerization and methods based in the use of chain extenders. In this work a method based on the addition of layered silicates to form nanocomposites has been explored. The PET by?product was a fraction of fines produced in the grinding and granulating steps of the mechanical recycling of the plastic, which contains low?intrinsic viscosity PET with high amounts of impurities. impurities Nanocomposites were obtained by melt?compounding melt compounding the PET fines with two commercial montmorillonites in a twin?screw microextruder. The raw materials and the nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X?ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effects of the clays on the mechanical and optical properties of the obtained materials were measured.
