British Polymer Journal, 1975

Block copolyetheresters of poly(hexamethylene terephthalate) (6GT) with poly(oxyethylene) terepht... more Block copolyetheresters of poly(hexamethylene terephthalate) (6GT) with poly(oxyethylene) terephthalate (POET) units have been prepared by polycondensation and certain of their thermal, morphological and mechanical properties have been determined. The copolymers rich in 6GT or POET units show the crystalline characteristics of the single respective homopolymers, whereas in the middle of the composition range crystalline phases of both types coexist. Increase in the proportion of POET units causes a decrease in the melting and glass transition temperatures and in the crystallisation rates whilst concomitantly the mechanical properties change from fibrous to elastomer in type. The results are interpreted in terms of a polycrystallite model in which the compostion-dependent nature of the crystallites and tie bars determines the overall mechanical properties of the copolymers.
