I ran across this article while researching PET modification:
http://www.memagazine.org/backissues/may98/marketplace/tech_focus/techfocus2.html
Summary:
The Ticona Division of Hoechst Celanese Corp has developed a modified
PET which exhibits lower viscosity when molten, higher resilience at low
temperatures, and generally more ductile failure modes.
This article was originally from 1998, but I can't find much else about this modification. There is mention in the article about a 15% glass content, but is glass alone sufficient to provide these enhanced qualities? Does anyone know what HCC used to make this product (Impet Hi 430)?
Thanks in advance, -- TTK
