A process for making ordered ester/carbonate copolymers.

摘要

This invention is directed to a process for making ordered ester/carbonate copolymers characterized by comprising the steps of (1) contacting in an organic liquid medium a dihydric organic compound such as bisphenol-A with a carbonate precursor such as phosgene and a diacid halide such as terephthaloyl chloride under conditions such that the carbonate moieties in the resultant intermediate oligomer are formed simultaneously with or before the formation of ester moieties and (2) contacting this oligomer with additional carbonate precursor under conditions sufficient to form the desired ordered ester/carbonate copolymer.
