摘要:
Polyesters such as poly(1,4-cyclohexanedimethyl-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate) are prepared by the reaction of at least one relatively non-volatile diol, preferably 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, with a 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid ester in the presence of a catalyst such as a tetraalkyl titanate. Maximum molecular weight and crystallinity are provided by at least one of two options: conducting the reaction at a series of progressively increasing temperatures below 265.degree. C., with a residence time in the range of 40-120 minutes at temperatures above 250.degree. C.; and conducting an initial stage of the reaction in the presence of at least one C.sub.2-6 aliphatic diol such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol or 1,4-butanediol.
摘要:
The crystallinity of poly(1,4-cyclohexanedimethyl 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate) is enhanced by the incorporation of amide units, preferably derived from such compounds as 1,6-bis(4-carbomethoxycyclohexylcarboxamido)hexane. Crystallization temperatures increase, as do heats of crystallization.
摘要:
The invention relates to a novel process for depolymerizing polyesters by subjecting the polyesters to catalysts and organic solvents which are substantially free of oxygen and water in order to produce macrocyclic polyester oligomers substantially free of hydroxybutyl terminated linear impurities.

A process for making high ductile and high melting point polyesters comprising the step of contacting macrocyclic copolyester oligomers having structural units with C.sub.4 alkylene bridging radicals and structural units with bridging radicals other than C.sub.4 alkylenes, and a polymerization catalysts.
