Table 2.

Mass Loss of pure PET and PET hybrids with 1% by weight of the modified clay AP with the A-P salts mixture containing varying amounts of A and P.

Samples Tmax1 (°C) Tmax2 (°C) TD10% (°C) Residues at 600 °C (%)
Pure PET 448 585 428 1.86
PET/APOA:P 450 558 432 3.17
PET/APO3A:P 449 564 435 2.73
PET/APO9A:P 445 559 429 3.17

Tmax1 and Tmax2—Maximum decomposition temperature belonging to the first and second stage of weight loss, respectively; TD10%—decomposition temperature at 10% of weight loss.
