Abstract

An effective route for the synthesis of aliphatic polyesters made from adipic or sebacic acid and alkanediols, using inorganic acid as a catalyst is reported. The monomer composition, reaction time, catalyst type, and reaction conditions were optimized to yield polyesters with weight average molecular weights of 23,000 for adipic acid and 85,000 for sebacic acid‐based polyesters. The polymers melt at temperatures of 52–65°C and possess melt viscosity in the range of 5600–19,400cP. This route represents an alternative method for producing aliphatic polyesters for possible use in the preparation of degradable disposable medical supplies. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

  • Several classes of organocatalysts have been used to catalyze the step-growth polymerization of diols with diacids or carbonates, including strong Brønsted acids and organic bases.

    “Several classes of organocatalysts have been used to catalyze the SGP of diols with diacids or carbonates, including strong Brønsted acids such as H2SO4, triflic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA), bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)-imide (Tf2NH), 243,244 and organic bases such as TBD, 221,245-247 MTBD, 248 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazol-2-carboxylate.249”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
