Abstract Some mechanical properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) were determined as a function of molecular weight, temperature and crystallinity. The effect of talc, a nucleating agent, on mechanical properties was also considered. Yield stress, initial modulus, breaking stress and elongation to break were measured over the temperature range from room temperature to 160° C. The yield strain was recorded over a smaller temperature range. The room temperature impact properties have also been studied using a Hounsfield Charpy type Impact Tester.
