DOI: 10.1007/s12221-018-7305-6
Abstract: Blends of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)/thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) were prepared by melt compounding. The miscibility, crystallization behaviors and toughening mechanism of the PBT/TPU blends were studied. Dynamic mechanical analysis results demonstrated that PBT was immiscible with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tafmec.2020.102662
Abstract: Abstract This research investigates the toughness of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) nanocomposites, based on mechanical characterizations and subsequent microstructural observations. Montmorillonite (MMT) and nano-precipitated calcium carbonate (NPCC) were selected as nano-reinforcing phases. Notched Izod impact test,… read more here.
