Summary
By melting condensation of terephthalic acid dichloride and 1,4∶3,6-dianhydrohexitols as well as selectively prepared lower oligomers thereof the formation of polyterephthalates is achieved. These polyesters are characterized by 1H-NMR spectra vapour pressure osmometry (VPO), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), viscosity measurements and combustion analyses. Their preparation and properties are discussed.
