Abstract

Poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) vitrimers were prepared by reactive extrusion from industrial PBT thermoplastics using Zn(II)-catalyzed addition and transesterification chemistry. PBT thermoplastics are characterized by a high degree of crystallinity, high melting temperature, and high crystalliz...
