    摘要: The invention concerns a method for producing a polyester containing at least one 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexitol unit comprising: •a step of introducing, into a reactor, monomers comprising at least one monomer (A) that is a diacid or a diester and at least one monomer (B) that is a 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexitol; •a step of introducing, into the reactor, a catalytic system comprising either a catalyst comprising the element germanium and a catalyst comprising the element aluminum, or a catalyst comprising the elements germanium and aluminum, or a mixture of said two catalysts; •a step of polymerizing said monomers to form the polyester; •a step of recovering a polyester composition comprising the polyester and the catalytic system. The invention also concerns a polyester composition containing a catalytic system comprising either a catalyst comprising the element germanium and a catalyst comprising the element aluminum, or a catalyst comprising the elements germanium and aluminum, or a mixture of said two catalysts, and the use of same to reduce the coloring of the polyester.

    摘要: The invention relates to the field of polymers and concerns a method for the crystallization of polyester. More particularly, it relates to a crystallization method that comprises a step of providing a polyester comprising at least one 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexitol unit, and a step of crystallizing said semi-crystalline polyester, said method being characterized in that the crystallization step is performed at a pressure of at least 600 mbar absolute. The method according to the invention makes it possible to strongly limit, or even eliminate, the phenomenon of polyester expansion during crystallization. Advantageously, the elimination of the expansion phenomenon through pressure conditions implemented according to the invention thus makes it possible to dispense with obtaining very fragile empty spheres that break when agitated and thus cause the formation of undesirable fine particles.

    摘要: A thermoplastic polyester, and in particular a thermoplastic polyester including at least one 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-L-iditol unit (A), at least one linear aliphatic diol unit (B), at least one aromatic dicarboxylic unit (C), the thermoplastic polyester having a reduced viscosity in solution (25° C.; phenol (50 wt. %):ortho-dichlorobenzene (50 wt. %); 5 g of polyester/L) greater than 25 mL/g. A method for preparing such a polyester, a composition including the same and the use of the thermoplastic polyester for the production of finished or semi-finished plastic articles. The thermoplastic polyester is advantageous in that it has a particularly high incorporation rate of 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-L-iditol (A) units, at least greater than 85%, and most specifically at least greater than 90%.
