Polyesters of trans-4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylic acid, ethylene glycol, and 1,4-butanediol

摘要

The polyesters of trans-4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylic acid, 95 to 60 mol % 1,4-butanediol, and 5 to 40 mol % ethylene glycol can be injection-molded to give shaped objects having exceptionally high heat resistance. Many of the polyesters also have excellent hydrolytic stability and chemical resistance. The polyesters of this invention can be molded, extruded into film, or spun into fibers having these properties.
