Quantitative Structural Characterization of the Mechanical Properties of Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate)

  • Chapter
Structure and Properties of Polymer Films

Part of the book series: Polymer Science and Technology ((POLS,volume 1))

Abstract

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is a polycrystalline polymer, with structural order on the molecular and interlamellar levels. The character of this structure will vary with the conditions of fabrication. Certainly the mechanical properties of a sample of PET will depend on its particular structural arrangement.
