dc.description.abstractA reactive extrusion process was developed improving the rheological properties of PET via the coaddition of a dianhydride and polyol. Specifically, the coaddition of pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) with pentaerythritol resulted in a gel-free polyester with superior melt strengths and viscosities compared to the addition of PMDA alone. The enhancement in rheological properties were dependent on the relative amounts of dianhydride and polyol with the resultant polyester structurally stable in the melt. These results are consistent with the formation of a hyperbranched polyester with long chain branches.
