Degradation of PET – Quantitative estimation of changes in molar mass using mechanical and thermal characterization methods
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films are used when mechanical strength, thermal and chemical stability, and barrier properties to atmospheric gases are required in combination with good processability. Hydrolysis leading to embrittlement of the material is a major concern as PET is used in a varie...
