Abstract

In this study, the morphology and spectroscopic properties of polypropylene (PP)/ polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) blends were investigated by PET addition to improve the mechanical properties of polypropylene. For the morphological characteristics of the PP + PET blends, SEM analysis for the spectroscopic properties and FT-IR analysis were performed. As the percentage of the mixture increases in the SEM images, there is a gap between the PET and the structure depending on the addition ratio. In the PP + 40% PET mixture, the transition from droplet form to fibril form appears clearly in the structure.
