Poly(ethylene succinate) (PES) with weight-average molecular weight above 60,000 g mol-1 was efficiently obtained by enzymatic ring opening polymerization of cyclic oligo(ethylene succinate)s c(ES)n, which in turn were ...

The development of polymers based on monomers from renewable feedstock, and more specifically from carbohydrates, is a steadily growing field of interest because of the properties that can generate these unique structures. ...

In this work, the synthesis of both c(BF)n and c(BT)n has been performed using the high dilution cyclization technique and these cycles have been then used for the preparation of the homopolyesters PBF and PBT, as well as ...

2,4:3,5-di-O-methylene-D-glucitol (Glux-diol) was used for the synthesis of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) copolyesters by melt polycondensation. Glux-diol possess a rigid bicyclic asymmetric structure made of two fused ...

In the present study poly (butylene sebacate-co-terephthalate)s having different compositions were synthesized with a high yield and a random distribution by thermal transesterification of poly (butylene sebacate) and poly ...

Cyclic oligo(butylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) and e-caprolactone were copolymerized in bulk at 130-150 ºC by enzymatic ring opening polymerization using CALB as catalyst. Copolyesters within a wide range of compositions ...

2,3-O-Methylene-L-threitol (Thx) is a cyclic carbohydrate-based diol prepared by acetalization and subsequent reduction of the naturally occurring tartaric acid. The structure of Thx consists of a 1,3-dioxolane ring with ...

The dimethyl ester of 2,3:4,5-di-O-methylene-galactaric acid (Galx) was made to react in the melt with 1,n-alkanediols HO(CH2)nOH containing even numbers of methylenes (n from 6 to 12) to produce linear polycyclic polyesters. ...

En este trabajo se investiga la influencia del procesado y del contenido de nanoarcilla en las propiedad mecánicas de láminas obtenidas por extrusión-calandra a partir de un grado comercial de PLA y una nanoarcilla ...
