Abstract: | Crystallization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) from the amorphous state has been studied in the temperature range 90°–120°C to characterize the amorphous phase when crystalline microstructure is developing. Small-angle x-ray scattering, scanning electron microscopy, and density measurements were used to investigate the morphology of semi-crystalline materials. Differential scanning calorimetry and dynamical mechanical spectroscopy experiments were carried out on amorphous, partially crystallized and crystallized specimens and, when structural relaxation is allowed (thermal treatments close to but below glass transition temperature), strong evidence is obtained for the existence of two different amorphous phases with different mobilities. |
