In this study, the morphology and spectroscopic properties of polypropylene (PP)/
polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) blends were investigated by PET addition to improve the mechanical
properties of polypropylene. For the morphological characteristics of the PP + PET blends, SEM
analysis for the spectroscopic properties and FT-IR analysis were performed. As the percentage of the
mixture increases in the SEM images, there is a gap between the PET and the structure depending on
the addition ratio. In the PP + 40% PET mixture, the transition from droplet form to fibril form appears
clearly in the structure.
