Notes:
In order to improve the crystallization properties of the polyethylene terephthalate (PET), nano-zincoxide (nano-ZnO)/PET and nano-ZnO/polyethylene glycol (PEG)/PET composites weresuccessfully synthesized by in-situ polymerization method in this work. The experimental resultsindicated that nano particles can accelerate the crystallization of the PET which was demonstratedby increase in the intensities of the XRD peaks. PEG and PET form copolymer in composites,leading to the improvement of the flexibility of the molecule chain. Meanwhile, PEG was able toencapsulate the nano particles to make them have both good compatibility to matrix and uniformdispersion in the composites. Therefore, the crystallization rate and crystallization capability ofnano-ZnO/PEG/PET composites were reasonably raised
