example

[0144] The polymer composition according to the invention and its preparation are further illustrated by the following examples.

[0145] Unless otherwise stated, the glass transition temperature (T g ), melting temperature (T m ), heat of crystallization, heat of fusion, and percent crystallinity were determined as follows: according to ASTM D3418-15, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), using a TA Instruments DSC Q2000 instrument with a standard aluminum sample pan, from 0-300 °C The first and second heating were performed at a ramp rate of 20 °C / min, the sample pan containing 3 g of sample cut from a molded bent bar (216 x 12.7 x 3.2 mm). Each sample was sealed in an aluminum pan and heated to 300°C at a rate of 20°C / minute. The sample was then cooled below its glass transition temperature at a rate of about 20°C / min to produce an amorphous sample. Melting temperature T m Corresponds to the endothermic peak observed during the scan.

Abstract

Described are polymer compositions that include a blend of recycled polyethylene terephthalate) (rPET) and a copolyester based on monomers that include on terephthalic acid (TPA), ethylene glycol (EG) and 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3- cyclobutanediol (TMCD), wherein the blend has improved engineering properties compared to the rPET material.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to polymer compositions having recycled content and high heat resistance. More specifically, the present invention relates to polyester compositions having recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (rPET) content and high heat resistance compared to virgin rPET material. Background technique [0002] Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is one of the most ubiquitous plastics in the world and is widely used in clothing fibers as well as liquid and food containers. A significant amount of PET is recycled, for example from PET bottle and container waste streams, and rPET represents one of the cleanest recycling streams for any plastic. However, rPET due to its relatively low T g (~80℃) and relatively low intrinsic melting temperature (T m ) (about 250°C) with limited use. [0003] It would be beneficial if polymeric materials containing rPET also had improved engineering properties, such as high heat resistance. Con...
