Abstract
SUMMARY A series of poly(ethy1ene terephthalate) (PET) samples was prepared from dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene glycol. In each sample a phosphorous compound was added as heat stabilizer after the transesterification and before the polycondensation. These compounds were: phosphoric acid, tributyl phosphate, triphenyl phosphate, phenylphosphonic acid, phenylphosphinic acid, and sodium phenylphosphinate. Firstly, their interference with the transesterification catalyst was examined. Their stabilization effect was estimated by DSC analysis in nitrogen and air. Various thermal criteria have been used, such as stabilization coefficient and induction period of oxidation. Under the conditions used for polymerization, the more efficient stabilizers were tributyl phosphate, phenylphosphonic and phenylphosphinic acid. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Es wurde eine Reihe von Poly(ethylenterephthalat)(PET)-Proben aus Dimethylterephthalat und Ethylenglykol hergestellt. Bei jeder Probe wurde nach der Umesterung und vor der Polykondensation eine Phosphorverbindung als thermischer Stabilisator hinzugefugt. Diese Verbindungen waren: Phosphorsaure, Tributylphosphat, Triphenylphosphat, Phenylphosphorsaure, Phenylphosphonsaure und Natriumphenylphosphinat. Der Stabilisierungseffekt wurde durch DSC unter Stickstoff und Luft ermittelt. Es wurden verschiedene thermische Kriterien benutzt, wie Stabilitatskoeffizient und Induktionsperiode der Oxidation. Die besten Ergebnisse unter den durchgefuhrten Bedingungen wurden mit Tributylphosphat, Phenylphosphonsaure und Phenylphosphinsaure erhalten.

Effect of carboxylic end groups on thermooxidative stability of PET and PBT

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of carboxyl content on thermooxidative degradation was studied, using as criteria the induction period of oxidation and the stabilisation coefficient, both obtained by differential scanning calorimetry during isothermal or dynamic heating of the samples under air and nitrogen atmosphere.

Reactions induced by triphenyl phosphite addition during melt mixing of PET/PBT blends: chromatographic evidence of a molecular weight increase due to the creation of bonds of two different natures

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed chromatographic investigation has been carried out on the influence of triphenyl phosphite addition in molten poly(ethylene terephthalate) or poly(methylene-terphthalate)/poly(butylene terephylate) blends, which corresponds to torque and viscosity observations and fully confirms the occurrence of high temperature reactions between polyester and phosphite.
