Abstract
The thermal properties of a segmented poly(ether ester) [Hytrel] were investigated by thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). In particular, the influence of irradiation and thermal treatment on the transition temperature and crystallinity of the polymer was studied. DSC and X-ray diffraction were used to assess the crystallinity of poly(ether ester). Crystallinity increases with length of irradiation. However, it was found to decrease with thermal treatment.
