Abstract

The influence of PC melt flow rate (MFR) on phase behavior, thermal and rheological properties of catalysed and non-catalysed poly(ethylene terephthalate)/polycarbonate (PET/PC) (80/20 wt%) reactive blending were investigated. Two types of PC named PC1 and PC2 with MFR 3.1 and 10.8 g/10 min, respectively, were used. Each PC and the catalyst showed significant influence on calorimetric properties, thermal stability and WAXS patterns of the blends. Regarding to TG/DTG, the blends degraded in two steps which were attributed to PET rich phase and PC one and permit to infer that a partially miscible blends were produced.
