ISOSORBIDE CONTAINING POLYESTERS AND METHODS FOR MAKING SAME

摘要

A POLYESTER POLYMER AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE POLYESTER, WHEREIN THE POLYESTER IS PREPARED BY (1) COMBINING IN A REACTOR A MONOMER CONTAINING A DIACID MOIETY; A MONOMER COMPRISING A DIOL MOIETY; AND A MONOMER CONTAINING AN ISOSORBIDE MOIETY; WITH A CONDENSATION CATALYST SUITABLE FOR CONDENSING AROMATIC DIACIDS AND DIOLS; AND (2) HEATING THE MONOMERS AND CATALYST TO POLYMERIZE THE MONOMERS TO YIELD A POLYESTER HAVING AN INHERENT VISCOSITY OF AT LEAST ABOUT 0.15 DL/G.
