Polybutylene terephtalate

Also common is the occurrence of transitions between different crystalline forms under tensile stresses. We recall here, for instance, the solid-to-solid transitions under stress of nylon 6 [76], PVDF [77, 78], and polybutylene terephtalate (PBT) [79-83].

Polybutylene terephtalate (PBTP) differs in its chemical structure only slightly from PETP its melting point is somewhat lower and its processability is better. The applications in injection moulded articles are similar to those for PETP. 

Polyurethane-based FTPEs are produced by reacting fluorinated polyether diols with aromatic disocyanates. The resulting block copolymers contain fluorinated polyether soft segments.68 Another possible method of preparation of fluorinated TPE is dynamic vulcanization. Examples are a blend of a perfluoroplastic and a perfluoroelastomer containing curing sites or a combination of VDF-based fluo-roelastomers and thermoplastics, such as polyamides, polybutylene terephtalate, and polyphenylene sulhde.69 70...

It was shown that the degradation of aromatic polyesters (such as polybutylene terephtalate) is mainly due to photolysis [136,137]. As a result for these polymers UVAs are much more effective than HALS (Fig. 17.13). 

The thermal stability of the nanocomposites polybutylene terephtalate, briefly PBT, (or polyethylele terephtalate)/oiganoclay determined by the thermogravimetiic analysis is presented in Table 3 and in Figusrs 14 and 15 [11,12]. 

The quantity of the hterature in the field of the nanocomposite polymeric materials has grown multiple times in recent years. The possibility to use almost all polymeric and polycondensated materials as a matrix is shown The nanocomposites from various organoclays and polymers have been synthesized. Here is just a small part of the compounds for being the matrix referenced in literature polyacrylate [83], polyamides [82,84,85], polybenzoxazine [86], polybutylene terephtalate [11,82,87], polyimides [88], polycarbonate [89], polymethylmetaciylate [90], polypropylene [91,92], poly-...

Good raincoats do not only retain water but they are capable to remove water vapour ( sweat ). Two different types can be distinguished Gore-tex is a porous hydrofobic polymer (polyieuafluoroethylenc) and S)rmpatex is a nonporous hydrophilic polymer (a block-copolymer polybutylene terephtalate-polyethyleneoxide)... 

Polyesters have been widely used in automotive, electrical and electronic applications due to their good mechanical, electrical insulation and easy processability properties. Polybutylene terephtalate (PBT) is especially useful for injection molding applications since it has fast crystallization and short molding cycles.
