Abstract: | Glycolysis product of the waste PET was used to synthesis of 2-hydroxyethyl-4-{(2-(prop-2-enoyloxy)ethoxy]carbonyl}benzoate (HETA) and further application in the emulsion polymerization of styrene/(meth)acrylic monomers. The resulting polymer dispersion was characterized by FTIR, DLS, TEM, and TGA. The experimental results reveal that HETA plays an important role in thermal, mechanical and other properties of the resulting polymer film. |
