Glass transition and structural relaxation in semi-crystalline poly(ethylene terephthalate): a DSC study

The aim of this work is to determine the relaxation times of the cooperative conformational rearrangements of the amorphous phase in semi-crystalline poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and compare them with those calculated in amorphous PET. Samples of nearly amorphous polymer were prepared by quenc...
