The PET-PEN copolymers have been synthesized and the effect of their morphology on the physical properties of polyester flexible substrate was investigated. It was found that the block sequence of synthesized copolymer was varied depending upon DMT/NDC ratio in polymerization. Higher PET-PEN and PEN block sequence in polyester copolymer resulted in the increase of glass transition temperature and it caused the enhancement of dimensional stability as a polyester flexible substrate. The highest coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) was obtained when DMT/NDC ratio is 50/50. Synthesized PET-PEN copolymer seems to be acceptable as a flexible substrate since it shows that their optical transmittance at 550 nm is over 80% and thermal weight loss at $280^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr is less than 0.4 wt%.

Dimethyl-2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate(2,6-NDC)와 ethylene glycol(EG)로부터 유도되는 폴리에틸렌 나프탈레이트(PEN)는 폴리에틸렌 테레프탈레이트(PET)보다 열적 및 기계적 특성이 우수한 열가소성 고분자이며[1-2], 폴리에틸렌 글리콜(PEG)은 diol기를 함유한 친수성 고분자로서 의약품 및 기타 가공제로 널리 쓰이는 물질이다. 이미 PET는 이러한 PEC를 PET 합성과정에서 공단량체로 사용해 공중합시킴으로서 친수성을 갖는 PET로 개질하고자 하는 연구[3-4]가 다수 보고되어 왔으나, PEN의 경유는 아직 이에 관한 연구보고가 없는 실정이다.

폴리에틸렌 나프탈레이트(PEN)는 열적 및 물리적 특성이 우수한 고분자로서 포장재료, 필름, tire cord 등으로 그 이용범위가 확대되고 있는 고분자이다[l]. 그러나 강직한 분자사슬을 가지고 있는 PEN은 고결정성과 소수성 둥으로 인해 흡습성, 제전성 및 염색성이 좋지 못하고 성형가공이 어려운 단점도 있다. 이미 동종계열인 PET의 경우 그러한 단점을 개선하고자 합성반응시 diol과 같은 제 3의 단량체를 사용하여 공축합하는 연구[2-3]가 시도된바 있으나 PEN의 경우 아직 이에 관한 연구보고가 없는 실정이다. (중략)

The structure development and dynamic properties of fibers produced by high-speed spinning of P(EN-ET) random copolymers were investigated. The as-spun fibers were found to remain amorphous up to the spinning speed of 1500 m/min, and subsequent increases in speed resulted in the crystalline domains containing primarily $\alpha$ crystalline modification of PEN. The f modification was not found up to spinning speeds of 4500 m/min. On the other hand, annealing of constrained fibers spun at the 2100 m/min at 180,200, and 240^{\circ}C$ exhibited $\beta$-form crystalline structure, while the annealed fibers spun in 600-1500 m/min range exhibited dominantly $\alpha$-form. However $\beta$-form crystals disappeared above the spinning speed of 3000 m/min. With increasing spinning speeds from 600 to 4500 m/min, the storage modulus of as-spun fibers increased continuously and reached a value of about 10.4 spa at room temperature. The tan $\delta$curves showed the $\alpha$-relaxation peak at about 155-165^{\circ}C$, which is considered to correspond to the glass transition. The $\alpha$-relaxation peaks became smaller and broader, and shift to higher temperatures as the spinning speed increases, meaning that molecular mobility in the amorphous region is restricted by increased crystalline domain.

The effects of the transreactions on the rheological properties have been found in the poly(ethylene 2, 6-naphthalate) (PEN) and poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) blends. The rheological properties were very much dependent on the blend compositions, which, in turn, were related to extent of the reactions. In particular, a blend with 50/50 wt% composition exhibits an unusual and remarkable decrease in complex viscosity and it may be related to the randomness of the copolymer structure through transreactions. It has been identified by investigating the extent of transreactions and block length of the copolymer from the (ethylene 2, 6-naphthalate) (EN) and (ethylene terephthalate) (ET) units from $^1{H}$ n.m.r. spectra.
