Type-3 Polyester

Type - 3 polyesters were synthesized by copolymerization of 4-acetoxybenzoic acid (HBA) and PET. The properties of PET/HBA copolymers with varied composition are tabulated in Table 8.6. It was found that the reaction mixture become turbid for HBA composition higher than 35%, this was due to liquid crystalline nature of copolymer. It can be observed from the table that non-liquid crystalline PET / 30-HBA is stronger than that of compositions with liquid crystalline nature. Low production cost of PET/HBA with good mechanical properties and processability made it very attractive. However, because of the tendency toward homopolymerization of the acyl ester of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid to form poly(4-oxybenzoyl)

Fully aromatic polyesters unusually have low solubilities even in aggressive solvents. Therefore, their solution characterizations-including the determination of their microstructures are very difficult. In order to overcome these problems, a lot of structural modifications have been proposed and succeeded in bringing solubility in common organic solvents such as CHCI3, CH Cl, THF, dioxane and toluene [87]. 

All of the thermotropic polyesters containing a single substituent, including 4-biphenyl, phenylalkyl, phenyl, phenoxy, tert-butyl and Br either in the TA or HQ moiety, usually are not soluble in common organic solvents. In contrast, a polyester containing a 

All the commercially available main-chain LC polyesters such as Vectra, Xydar, Zenite, X7G, and LC polyimide are studied well for their thermal stability, degradation behavior, and kinetics [93-95].

Type-1 polyester is made up of 1, 4-biphenylene moieties with an approaximate heat-deflection temperature (HDT) of 300°C under a load of 18.6 kg/cm. The representative product is named as "Xydar". Type - 2 polyester is made up of 2, 6-naphthalene moiety with an approximate HDT of 210°C under a load of 18.6 kg/cm. The representative product name of type 2 is "Vectra". While Type-3 polyester is made up p-hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA) modified poly (ethylene terephthalate) i.e combination of moieties of HBA and PET usually with 70/30 proportion. The representative product name of type -3 is "Rodrun". 

Terminal-functionalized polymers such as macromonomers and telechelics are very important as prepolymer for construction of functional materials. Single-step functionalization of polymer terminal was achieved via lipase catalysis. Alcohols could initiate the ring-opening polymerizahon of lactones by lipase catalyst. The lipase CA-catalyzed polymerizahon of DDL in the presence of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate gave the methacryl-type polyester macromonomer, in which 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate acted as initiator to introduce the methacryloyl group quanhtatively at the polymer terminal ( inihator method ).This methodology was expanded to the synthesis of oo-alkenyl- and alkynyl-type macromonomers by using 5-hexen-l-ol and 5-hexyn-l-ol as initiator, respechvely. 

A methacryl-type polyester macromonomer was synthesized by lipase PF-catalyzed polymerizahon of DDL using vinyl methacrylate as terminator ( terminator method ), in which the vinyl ester terminator was present from the beginning of the reachon (Scheme 17). In using divinyl sebacate as terminator, the telechelic polyester having a carboxylic acid group at both ends was obtained. Various non-protected thiol compounds were used as inihator or terminator for the thiol end-funchonalizahon of poly(8-CL). ... 

The enzymatic polymerization of 12-hydroxydodecanoic acid in the presence of 11-methacryloylaminoundecanoic acid conveniently produced the methacrylamide-type polyester macromonomer. Lipases CA and CC were active for the macromonomer synthesis. Enzymatic selective monosubstitution of a hydroxy-functional dendrimer was demonstrated. Lipase CA-catalyzed polymerization of 8-CL in the presence of the first generation dendrimer gave the poly(8-CL)-monosubstituted dendrimer.

Attention has recently been paid to the possible use of alkyd type polyester resins as combustible binders of composite propellants. The use of polyester resins from maleic, adipic or phthalic acid has been suggested. Their main advantage is that they can be cured in the cold by the addition of styrene or diallyl phthalate. Curing the charges can thus be performed at a relatively low temperature.

Binders for thermosetting powder coatings are often called a hardener. The hardeners are a mixture of a primary resin and a cross-linker. The major types of binders can be limited to polyester, epoxy, hybrid epoxypolyester, acrylic, and UV cure types. Polyester binders are used for good exterior durability, retention of gloss, and resistance to chalking.

Polybutylene therephthalate (PBT) has been used as a blend component to provide chemical resistance in various systems, but the most interesting one results from a combination with polycarbonate and, eventually, an Impact modifier of the coreshell type. Polyester blends containing polycarbonate exhibit ester interchange chemical reactions, which add to the complexity of property control of these materials. DEVAUX and co-workers (14) have examined the transesterification reaction catalysed by residual catalysts in PBT which can lead to the formation of block and random copolymers. They have shown that allyl or aryl phosphites inactivate the residual titanium catalyst and minimise the transesterification reaction. HOBBS et al. (15) reported a way of controlling miscibility behaviour, morphology and deformation mechanisms, in order to obtain blends compati-bilisation and excellent mechanical properties.

Because of the above heat transfer problems, bulk polymerization of vir l monomers is restricted to those with relatively low reactivities and enthalpies of polymerization. This is exemplified by the homogeneous bulk polymerization of methyl methacrylate and styrene (Table 10.1). Some polyurethanes and polyesters are examples of step-reaction polymers that can be produced by homogeneous bulk polymerizations. The products of these reactions might be a solid, as in the case with acryhc polymers a melt, as produced by some continuous polymerization of styrene or a solution of polymer in monomer, as with certain aUcyd-type polyesters. 

The polymers are useful for electrical and mechanical components that require good heat resistance and for lighting fixtures and consumer goods that operate at elevated temperatures, such as microwave ovens and hair dryers. Potential uses of the somewhat cheaper arylon type polyesters include exterior car parts, such as body panels and bumpers. Typical properties of aromatic polyesters mentioned above are shown in Table 4.14.

Microcellular polyurethanes for shoe soling are of both the polyester and polyether types. Polyester types were developed first and owing to their generally superior mechanical properties they tend to be used in the thinner sole, high quality section of the market. Such polyester systems are usually based on quasi-prepolymers (made from part of the polyester and the MDI) and a resin blend made up of the rest of the polyester, the chain extender (usually butane diol), catalysts, surfactants and water to produce carbon dioxide to blow the foams. The use of a quasi-prepolymer enables the two... 

Enzymatic synthesis of a methacrylamide-type polyester macromonomer was reported (80,81). In the polymerization of 12-hydroxydodecanoic acid in the presence of 11-methacryloylaminoundecanoic acid using lipase CC or Candida antarctica lipase (lipase CA) as catalyst, the polymerizable group was quantitatively incorporated into terminal of the poljmier chain.
