The intrinsic viscosity and its carboxyl group content of the PET/chain-extenders blended mixtures were measured to determine the molecular weight during the blended process in brabender at high temperature. The intrinsic viscosity of pristine poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was 0.6528 (dL/g) before the blending, and then down to 0.4662 (dL/g) after 5 minutes of the blended. Among those chain-extenders used, the hydrolysis rate of the PET could be effectively inhibited by SMA3000 (0.5286 dL/g) and UG-4070 (0.5100 dL/g) when 0.5wt% of the chain-extenders was added in the blend. However, the optimal value of the addition for SMA3000 was 2.0wt% which is higher than the theoretical value of the addition (1.93wt%). In addition, the optimal addition value of the UG-4070 was at 4.63wt% which is higher than the theoretical value of the addition (4.39wt%). Furthermore, the reaction mechanism was demonstrated by measuring the carboxyl group content of the blended mixtures. The carboxyl group content of the PET/SMA3000 was increased with the addition of SMA3000. However, the result of the PET/UG-4070 was the opposite with that of PET/SMA3000. The simultaneously added SMA3000 and UG-4070 into PET was better inhibited hydrolysis rate of the PET than that of PET/SMA3000 or PET/UG-4070 added alone.
