Effect of Nanodisperse Carbon Fillers and Isocyanate Chain Extender on Structure and Properties of Poly(ethylene terephthalate)

Figure 3

Schematics of probable reactions taking place with diisocyanate CE participation. (a) Chain extension caused by interaction of CE with terminal carboxyl (groups). (b) Chain extension caused by interaction of CE with terminal hydroxyl. (c) Chain extension caused by interaction of CE and PET macromolecules. (e) CNT functionalization. (f) Chain extension at the expense of functionalized CNT.
