Abstract
Abstract Blends of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) and a copolyester of bisphenol‐A with 50% terephthalate‐50% isophthalate (PAr), before and after transesterification, have been studied by thermal and dynamic mechanical tests to determine crystallinity and phase behavior. Blends without transesterification, as prepared by solution precipitation, show a single T g , indicating amorphous miscibility of PBT and PAr. A melting‐point depression for PBT crystals is not observed; this means that PBT crystallizes excluding PAr and the entropy of melting is small. The highest fractional crystallinity for PBT is obtained at 20‐35% of PAr. Transesterified blends were obtained by holding the physical blends at 250°C for up to 16 h. The transesterified systems show higher T g 's than the corresponding physical blends and also show a marked melting‐point depression and lesser PBT crystallinity at the corresponding increased PAr content.
