Abstract
The aminolysis of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) waste bottle with excess amount of aliphatic diamines, such as tetramethylenediamine (TMDA) and hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) without catalyst has been carried out. Each trimers and pentamers in the obtained products were isolated and characterized by FTIR, NMR, HPLC methods. Although an excess of diamine was employed, longer blocks of oligomers were still formed as minor products.
