Nucleation Mechanisms of Aromatic Polyesters, PET, PBT, and PEN, on Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes: Early Nucleation Stages

Figure 2

Chemical structures of representative PET, PBT, and PEN molecules: (a) diethyl terephthalate (DET), (b) dibutyl terephthalate (DBT), and (c) dimethyl 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate (DND). Dark, gray, and white spheres represent oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen atoms, respectively, and bonds are shown as the sticks connecting these atoms.
