Abstract

Poly(butylene terephthalate) sheets were prepared by roller-drawing method with various draw ratio. The drawing temperature is 100 °C and draw ratios were varied 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 and 4. The effect of draw ratio on the crystal structure, the molecular orientation, dynamic viscoelastic properties, sonic modulus and tensile properties of the roller-drawn PBT sheets were investigated. In WAXD results, with increasing of the draw ratio, (010) and (100) planes of preferred orientation have the strongest intensity on the equator. In the meridional scans, it was confirmed that α and β crystal co-existed in the roller drawn PBT sheets with various draw ratio. Uniaxially roller-drawn PBT sheets clearly increased orientation along the stretched direction at high draw ratio. And the four-methylene groups of PBT orient along the surface of the sheet. The mechanical properties of PBT sheets were improved by orientation-induced crystallization during roller drawing process at 100 °C.
