Abstract
In this study, the optimal preparation conditions in the polymerization process of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) were studied in detail. As a result, the dispersibility of TiO2 was significantly improved by the addition of dispersant and steric hinderance additives into TiO2/ethylene glycol (EG) slurry during the esterification step. The addition sequence of TiO2/EG slurry and stirring also affected the dispersibility of TiO2. The SEM results showed that some TiO2 particles were agglomerated in the PET matrix. The full dull (FD) PET chip and fiber were prepared according to the optimal preparation conditions. The FD PET fiber exhibited a better dispersibility than that of the FD PET chip.
