Abstract
For polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, a material used for food packaging, light transmission and mechanical performance, particularly environmental stress cracking (ESC), are essential characteristics. For this purpose, following extrusion of PET/CaO granules, preforms were manufactured using the injection technique, and bottles were produced by a stretch-blow-molding process. With incorporation of calcium oxide (CaO), light transmittance increased by around 25%, and ESC went from 0.3 to 11 min. In addition, whereas acetaldehyde (AA) and carboxylic acid (COOH) decomposition values rose with increasing CaO content, diethylene glycol and isophthalic acid values did not significantly change. Moreover, the maximum crystallization temperature and crystallinity both exhibited an upward trend with the CaO content.

Abstract
In order to improve the melt foaming properties of thermoplastic polyamide elastomers and reduce the shrinkage rate of foamed materials, acid anhydride chain extenders SMA (styrene maleic anhydride copolymer) are used in this paper to in situ reactive blending thermoplastic polyamide elastomers (TPAE) and polyamide 6 (PA6). The rheological and crystalline properties of the modified samples were characterized by a rotational rheometer and differential scanning calorimeter, and the melt batch foaming experiment with CO2 as the foaming agent was carried out. The results showed that the melting enthalpy of modified TPAE reduced with the addition of content of PA6, which implied that the crystallinity of the hard phase of the system was depressed. Nevertheless, the reduction of crystallinity was beneficial to improve the penetration of gas and reduce the effect of the pressure difference inside and outside the cell on foam shrinkage. Additionally, the microcross-linked structure formed with the increase of PA6 content enhanced the storage modulus of modified TPAE, which could accelerate recovery of strain. The foaming temperature zone and recovery performance of all modified TPAE samples were significantly improved. The overall shrinkage rate was reduced to less than 10%, the maximum expansion ratio could reach 11-13 times with a more complete and uniform cell structure, and the resilience was improved by about 12%.

Abstract
Polyurethane (PU) synthetic leathers possess an intricate plastic composition, including polyester (PET) base fabrics and upper PU resin, but the release of fragments from the complexes is unclear. Therefore, we investigated the photodegradation trends of PET base fabrics with PU coating (PET-U) as a representative of composite plastics. Attention was paid to the comparison of the photoaging process of PET-U with that of pure PET base fabric (PET-P). To reveal the potential for chain scission, physical and chemical changes (e.g., surface morphology, molecular weight, and crystallinity) of the two fabrics were explored. The generation of microplastic fibers (MPFs) and microplastic particles (MPPs) was distinguished. Compared with PET-P, PET-U showed a similar but delayed trend in various characteristics and debris release rate as the photoaging time prolonged. Even so, after 360 h of illumination, the generated number of MPs (including MPFs and MPPs) rose considerably to 9.32 × 107 MPs/g, and the amount of released nanoplastics (NPs) increased to 2.70 × 1011 NPs/g from PET-U. The suppression of MP formation from PET-U was potentially directed by the physical shielding of the upper PU layer and the dropped MPs, which resisted the photochemical radical effect. The components of dissolved organic matter derived from plastics (P-DOM) were separated by molecular weight using a size-exclusion chromatography-diode array detector-organic carbon detector/organic nitrogen detector (SEC-DAD-OCD/OND), and the results showed that a larger amount of carbon- and nitrogen-containing chemical substances were generated in PET-U, accompanied by more aromatic and fluorescent compounds. The results provided theoretical bases and insights for future research on the risks of plastic debris from PU synthetic leathers on aquatic organisms and indicated feasible directions for exploring combined pollution studies of plastics.

Amorphous Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Composites with High-Aspect Ratio Aluminium Nano Platelets. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14030630.

Abstract
Previously, we reported that amorphous poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) filled with irregular nodular aluminium (Al) particles gave simultaneous increases in tensile modulus, tensile strength, and impact resistance, which is unusual for materials. Here, we investigated the effect of the particle shape and size by using nano-platelet Al. The Al nano-platelets had a thickness higher than graphenes and clays, but lower than mica and talc, and due to their large widths, they had high aspect ratios. Due to the ductility of Al, the platelets maintained the high aspect ratio and did not snap during injection moulding. In addition to avoiding the usual drop in tensile strength and impact, the composites with nano Al platelets gave an unusually high flexural modulus (8 GPa), which was almost double that attained practically with talc, mica, and graphene. This was because of the high tendency of the Al nano platelets to become oriented during moulding. The Al–PET composite would be a more cost-and-performance effective combination for making conductive composites. The Al is a cheaper material than graphene, surface treatment for adhesion (to PET) is unnecessary, and dispersion issues, such as exfoliation and de-aggregation, are not a problem.

Abstract
The industrialisation of poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) for total replacement of poly(ethylene terephthalate) in the polyester market is under question. Preparation of high-performing polymer blends is a well-established strategy for tuning the properties of certain homopolymers and create tailor-made materials to meet the demands for a number of applications. In this work, the structure, thermal properties and the miscibility of a series of poly(ethylene terephthalate)/poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PET/PEF) blends have been studied. A number of thermal treatments were followed in order to examine the thermal transitions, their dynamic state and the miscibility characteristics for each blend composition. Based on their glass transition temperatures and melting behaviour the PET/PEF blends are miscible at high and low poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) contents, while partial miscibility was observed at intermediate compositions. The multiple melting was studied and their melting point depression was analysed with the Flory-Huggins theory. In an attempt to further improve miscibility, reactive blending was also investigated.

Abstract
Polyethylene terephthalate-based nanocomposites with hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (BNNs) were prepared by a solution casting method with varying concentrations of BNNs from 0.5 wt% to 4 wt%. Melting and crystallization behaviour of the composites were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, which suggests that with increasing presence of nanosheets, the crystallinity increases and hence the polyethylene terephthalate chain mobility gets restricted, which leads to suppression of crystal growth. The nanoindentation measurements on the composite films exhibit improved mechanical properties. Enhancement of 33.3% of elastic modulus and 32.4% of hardness was observed with 2 wt% infusion of boron nitride nanosheets in polyethylene terephthalate.

Abstract
Two trimellitic anhydride-functionalized, thermally reduced graphenes with different aspect ratios, A f, and the same C/O ratio (8:1) were prepared and melt-mixed into poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), and the mechanical properties of the resulting nanocomposites were studied with a focus on plastic deformation behavior. A slight increase in the G' of the melt was observed for the surface-modified low-A f graphene composites (A f = 20) below the percolation threshold, whereas a significant enhancement in G' was observed for higher-A f graphene composites (A f = 80) at all graphene loadings, both below and above the percolation concentration. Furthermore, the use of modified low-A f graphene caused an improvement both in Young's modulus and elongation at break of the resulting PET nanocomposites because of enhancement of interfacial adhesion between filler and matrix which resulted in the formation of a coupled network via covalent bonding and the suppression both of strain-induced orientation and strain-induced crystallization. By contrast, the use of modified higher-A f surface graphene in nanocomposites caused a drastic improvement in Young's modulus but lower elongation-at-break than with the unmodified counterpart; the former effect is due to the formation of denser coupled networks and stronger interfacial adhesion as a result of graphene surface modification and the latter is due to the added geometrical restriction in unentangling chains from the PET matrix in the presence of higher-A f graphene. The preceding observations demonstrate the potential impacts of tuning both surface chemistry and aspect ratio of graphene in the fabrication of PET/graphene composites.

Abstract
Graphene of two different aspect ratios, A f, was melt mixed with poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) to form amorphous PET/graphene composites with less than 5% crystallinity. The higher-order structure and mechanical properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) in these composites were investigated using techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical analysis, whereas transmission electron microscopy, melt rheology, and electrical conductivity were used to study the graphene dispersion. A decrease in heat capacity changes, ΔC p, of PET in nanocomposites at the glass transition temperature, T g, without T g change suggests that a rigid amorphous fraction (RAF) of PET was formed at the PET/graphene interface. The stiffening effect of graphene below 1 wt % loading is quite small in the glassy state region and independent of the A f of graphene. Above 2 wt %, graphene forms a mechanical percolation network with the RAF of PET and the PET chains are geometrically restricted by the incorporation of graphene with a high A f, resulting in an unexpectedly higher modulus of nanocomposites both below and above T g.

Abstract
Graphene has been publicized as the game changing material of this millennium. To this day, scalable production leading to exceptional material properties has been difficult to attain. Most methods require harsh chemicals, which result in destroying the graphene surface. A method was developed, exploiting high speed elongational flow in a novel designed batch mixer; creating a distribution of pristine few to many layer graphene flakes. The method focuses on exfoliating in a molten polyamide 66 (PA66) matrix, creating a graphene reinforced polymer matrix composite (G-PMC). The process revealed that high speed elongational flow was able to create few layer graphene. Graphite exfoliation was found driven in part by diffusion, leading to intercalation of PA66 in graphite. The intercalated structure lead to increases in the hydrogen bonding domain, creating anisotropic crystal domains. The thermal stability of the G-PMC was found to be dependent to the degree of exfoliation, PA66 crystal structure and composite morphology. The aim of this research is to characterize uniquely produced graphene containing polymer matrix composites using a newly created elongational flow field. Using elongational flow, graphite will be directly exfoliated into graphene within a molten polymer.

Abstract
Maleic anhydride-grafted carbon fiber (CF- g-MAH) was prepared by a solid-phase grafting method. The rheological behavior, morphology, mechanical properties, and nonisothermal crystallization behavior of pure poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and PET/CF and PET/CF- g-MAH composites were investigated. The rheological analyses and mechanical tests show that the addition of CF or CF- g-MAH increased the complex viscosity and mechanical properties of PET. The morphology observations confirm that the introduction of the MAH group on the surfaces of the CF enhanced the interactions between the CF and PET, resulting in the fine dispersion of CF- g-MAH in the PET matrix. In addition, the analyses of the nonisothermal crystallization behavior of pure PET and the PET/CF and PET/CF- g-MAH composites show that CF or CF- g-MAH can act as a heterogeneous nucleating agent in PET and accelerate its crystallization. Compared to CF, CF- g-MAH is a more effective nucleator for PET.

Abstract
In this article, graphene oxide nanosheets grafted with low molecular weight poly(ethylene terephthalate) were in situ synthesized via carboxylation, acyl chlorination and grafting modification in order to improve the compatibility between GO and PET phases and enhance the thermal stability and crystallization properties of PET. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) characterization results demonstrated that LMPET chains have been successfully grafted onto the surface of GO. To further investigate the influence of modified GO on properties of PET, modified PET was prepared by incorporating the GL-g-LMPET nanofillers into the PET matrix using the melt-blending method. Due to the similar polarity and strong interaction between LMPET and PET molecules, GL-g-LMPET nanofillers were homogeneously dispersed in PET matrix. Thermal properties and crystallization properties of obtained nanocomposites were systematically characterized using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). Results show that GL-g-LMPET nanofillers could improve the thermal stability of PET, e.g., increase up to 16.6 °C in temperature at the maximum rate of weight loss. In addition, the GL-g-LMPET also acts as an efficient nucleating agent for PET, exhibiting (1) higher crystallization temperatures; (2) higher degrees of crystallinity; and (3) faster rates of crystallization.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) composites containing carbon fiber (CF) or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-grafted carbon fiber (PMMA-g-CF) were prepared by melt compounding. The rheology, non-isothermal crystallization behavior, and mechanical and thermal properties of pure PET, PET/CF and PET/PMMA-g-CF composites were investigated. The results show that the addition of CF or PMMA-g-CF significantly increases the storage modulus (G′), loss modulus (G″), and complex viscosity (η*) of the composites at low frequency. The Cole-Cole plots confirm that the surface modification of CF leads to a better interaction between the CF and PET, and then decreases the heterogeneity of the polymeric systems, which is confirmed by the SEM observation on the tensile fracture surface of the composites. Non-isothermal crystallization analysis shows that the CF or PMMA-g-CF could serve as nucleation agent to accelerate the crystallization rate of the composites, and the effect of PMMA-g-CF is stronger than that of CF. The result is further confirmed by the analysis of the crystallization activation energy for all composites calculated by the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method. Moreover, the tensile and impact strength and the thermal stability of the composites are improved by CF, while the incorporation of PMMA-g-CF further enhances the tensile and impact strength and thermal stability.

Abstract
In this research contribution, the primary objective was to enhance the crystallization behavior of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). To accomplish this tack, three kinds of new nucleating agents SiO2-diethylene glycol-LMPET (PET-3), SiO2-triethylene glycol–LMPET(PET-4) and SiO2-tetraethylene glycol-LMPET (PET-5) nucleating agents were prepared via grafting different oligomers (diethylene glycol; triethylene glycol and tetraethylene glycol) to the surface of nano-SiO2 and then linking to the low molecular weight poly(ethylene terephthalate) (LMPET). These nano-particle nucleating agents facilitated the crystallization of PET. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies of the composites that pure PET blended with PET-3, PET-4 and PET-5 indicated that the longer ethoxy segment in the nucleating agents exhibited (i) higher degrees of crystallinity; (ii) faster rates of crystallization; and (iii) higher crystallization temperatures. The Jeziorny method was employed to analyze the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of the composites. These works demonstrated that the PET-3, PET-4 and PET-5 were attractive nucleating agents for poly(ethylene terephthalate), and the longer the chain length of the ethoxy segment in the nucleating agents, the more efficient the nucleation effect.

Abstract
Nanofilled polymeric matrices have demonstrated remarkable mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. In this article we review the processing of carbon nanotube, graphene, and clay montmorillonite platelet as potential nanofillers to form nanocomposites. The various functionalization techniques of modifying the nanofillers to enable interaction with polymers are summarized. The importance of filler dispersion in the polymeric matrix is highlighted. Finally, the challenges and future outlook for nanofilled polymeric composites are presented.

Abstract
The interfacial adhesion between polymer and nanofiller plays an important role in affecting the properties of nanocomposites. The detailed relationship between interfacial adhesion and bulk properties, however, is unclear. In this work, we developed an atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based abrasive scanning methodology, as applied to model laminate systems, to probe the strength of interfacial adhesion relevant to poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/graphene or clay nanocomposites. Graphite and mica substrates covered with ∼2 nm thick PET films were abrasively sheared by an AFM tip as a model measurement of interfacial strength between matrix PET and dispersed graphene and clay, respectively. During several abrasive raster-scan cycles, PET was shear-displaced from the scanned region. At temperatures below the PET glass transition, PET on graphite exhibited abrupt delamination (i.e., full adhesive failure), whereas PET on mica did not; rather, it exhibited a degree of cohesive failure within the shear-displaced layer. Moreover, 100-fold higher force scanning procedures were required to abrade through an ultimate "precursor" layer of PET only ∼0.2-0.5 nm thick, which must be largely disentangled from the matrix polymer. Thus, the adhesive interface of relevance to the strength of clay-filler nanocomposites is between matrix polymer and strongly bound polymer. At 90 °C, above the bulk PET glass transition temperature, the PET film exhibited cohesive failure on both graphite and mica. Our results suggest that there is little difference in the strength of the relevant interfacial adhesion in the two nanocomposites within the rubbery dynamic regime. Further, the bulk mechanical properties of melt mixed PET/graphene and PET/clay nanocomposites were evaluated by dynamic mechanical analysis. The glassy dynamic storage modulus of the PET/clay nanocomposite was higher than that of PET/graphene, correlating with the differences in interfacial adhesion probed by AFM.
