Abstract:

In this study, the PET/PAAS/activated carbon composites were prepared by a mechanical blending method, and their thermal properties, crystal structure and VOC content were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry, X?ray diffraction and high?performance liquid chromatography. The results indicated that the addition of activated carbon improved the crystallinity of the composites but reduced their VOC content. The melting point of the composites was found to increase at first and then tend to decrease with an increase of activated carbon content. The composites achieved the maximum melting point and breaking strength at the activated carbon contents of 0.75 and 0.25 wt%, respectively. When 1.25 wt% of activated carbon was incorporated, the composites exhibited a formaldehyde removal rate of 97.54 %, a acetaldehyde removal rate of 92.1 %, and a acetone removal rate of 80.2 %.
