Modern Polyesters / Wiley Series in Polymer Science (PDF)

Dr. John Scheirs has worked extensively with poly (ethylene
terephthalate) (PET) and related polyesters. His early work
involved studying the UV stability of PET and poly(ethylene
naphthalate) (PEN) in France and later he was involved with
studying various industrial problems involving polyesters, such as
photodegradation, annealing, crystallization behaviour,
embrittlement, degradation by aminolysis, differential scanning
calorimetry (DSC) analysis, environmental stress cracking,
hydrolysis, nucleating agents, transesterification, injection
moulding of recycled PET compounds, solid-state polycondensation,
desiccant drying of PET and melt stabilization of PET. More
recently in the period 1998-2000, he was the technical manager for
Coca-Cola Amatil's world-first PET reforming plant which
converts post-consumer PET bottles into high-grade, high IV
palletized PET for direct reuse in new bottles and injection and
sheet moulding applications. John Scheirs is now the principal
consultant with ExcelPlas Polymer Technology where he specializes
in polymer recycling chemistry, formulation, processing and
testing.

Dr. Timothy E. Long is a professor in the Department of
Chemistry and the Macromolecular Science and Engineering Program at
Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA, USA. Professor Long was employed
at Eastman Kodak and Eastman Chemical for 12 years prior to joining
the faculty at Virginia Tech in 1999. He has extensive industrial
and academic experience in fundamental macromolecular chemistry,
with an awareness of the industrial and commercial impact of
polyester chemistry and processing, structure-property
relationships. And polyester applications. His research interests
include polyester ionomers, high-gas-barrier polyester for
packaging, new polyester catalyst development. Thermotropic liquid
crystalline polyesters, functional poly(lactides), and branched and
hyperbranced polyesters. He is the author of over 100 refereed
papers and holds
