Abstract
The effect of OMLS incorporation on the thermal properties of PET/LCP blends is studied. Pure and OMLS-modified PET/LCP blends were prepared by melt-extrusion using twin-screw extruder. The morphological analyses of PET/LCP blends show that OMLS addition enhances the phase-separated structure of the pure blend. A detailed study on the thermal properties of the pure and OMLS-modified PET/LCP blends were carried out by means of DSC in both conventional and modulation modes. Results show a complex melting behaviour comprises of successive melting and re-crystallisation. Finally, non-isothermal crystal-growth kinetics of pure and OMLS-modified blends were investigated.
