Abstract
AbstractPositron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PAL) was applied to study the feldspar effect on the free volume properties of crosslinked polyester based on neopentyl glycol, succinic acid, phthalic anhydride, and maleic anhydride. The measurements have been carried on the polyester resin samples cured with three crosslinking agents namely styrene (SS) or styrene/methyl methacrylate (SM) or styrene/acrylonitrile (SA) comonomers mixtures in the ratios of 2 : 1 and loaded with different concentrations of feldspar in the range from 0 to 80 wt %. The free volume parameters (size and fractions of holes) depend on type of the crosslinking agent as well as the feldspar content added to the polyester. The results are supported by a significant variation in the nanoscale free volume hole size distributions. Moreover, the correlation between positron annihilation parameters and electrical parameters was discussed. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012
