METHOD FOR PREPARING POLYMERS BY SOLID STATE POLYMERIZATION

摘要

Solid state polymerization of polycarbonates and polyesters is preceded by a step of contacting particles of an amorphous precursor polymer with a particulate material, typically a crystallized polycarbonate, which prevents adherence of the precursor polymer particles to each other. It is then possible to perform the solid state polymerization step without crystallizing the precursor polymer.
