Abstract
Mixtures of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly(ethylene terephthal ate) (PET) polymers were formed using ball milling technique and characteri zed by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffracti on (XRD). PET with different degrees of crystallinity was used in the solid -state mechanical milling process. Results suggest that PET greatly influen ces the crystallization of amorphized PET by milling.
