Abstract
Morphology of blends of Liquid Crystalline (LC) co-polyesters and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with a varying percentage of the liquid crystalline component were studied primarily by small angle light scattering (SALS), polarising microscopy and wide angle X-ray diffraction. The crystallization behaviour of these blends was studied with the help of density measurements and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was observed that a small amount of LC component in PET changes the morphological and crystallization behaviour of PET. It also affects the mechanical properties of PET significantly.
