摘要
Commercial poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was treated at R. H.>80% and room temperature for a set time. The glass transition temperature (T-g) decreases with the time of exposure to high humidity. The decrease in T-g is a result of plasticization. Our data indicate that the T-g of dry PET of 76-78 degrees C may decrease to as low a temperature as 65-67 degrees C when it is wet. Induced crystallization of PET in the presence of water reduces the cold crystallization temperature (T-c). The structure of water-induced crystals is imperfect and can be improved in perfection by annealing.
