Notes:
A polyethylenterephthalate-hydrotalcite (PET-HT) composite was prepared by in situpolymerisation, using polyethylenterephthalate (PET) and different amounts of a hydrotalcite withdodecylsulphate in the interlayer space (DS-HT). The resulting material has been characterised bypowder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The thermal stability ofPET is not greatly enhanced upon incorporation of the inorganic component, despite PXRD showsthat the HT is exfoliated in the composite. Thus with 2-10% shows a complete dispersion of thelayered component in the polymeric matrix, while if the inorganic loading is between 20-50 %(larger loadings were not tested) no complete dispersion is achieved and PXRD-detectableagglomerates are formed
