Abstract : The development and marketing of novel polymers take a long time and are quite expensive. However, by using a polymer mixing process—which is also extremely inexpensive to run—it is frequently feasible to cut the time to commercialization in half to three years. PTT (polytrimethylene terephthalate) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer with high tensile elastic recovery, chemical resistance, a low melting temperature, and a fast crystallization rate. Better elastic recovery of PTT than other polyesters, such as PBT and PET, is similar to nylon. PTT also has high color fastness, dye absorption uniformity, stain resistance, and other properties. PTT has characteristics that are halfway between PBT and PET, making it a potential industrial material for applications such as fibers, films, and engineering thermoplastics. Designing of blends/composites/nanocomposites of PTT can decrease its weakness and increases their processability; also, there are many benefits such as low cost, recycling ability, and tailoring properties.
