Abstract
The nucleation and dispersion behaviors of SiO2 particles were directly observed. POM results demonstrated that SNPET samples crystallized more quickly from melt and their crystallization rate increased as silica load increases but accelerated at 2-3Â wt.%. The spherulites grew well in PET but their size was smaller in SNPET due to the silica barrier on their growth. SEM and TEM observed the homogeneous silica dispersion morphology and the vivid ordered patterns formed in SNPET. The monodisperse particles are highly expected to give more accurate and valuable references than multi-scale ones in obtaining novel advanced PET composites.
