The transesterification of bisphenol‐a polycarbonate (PC) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBTP): A new route to block copolycondensates
Abstract
In this work, the exchange reaction taking place in molten blends of bisphenol‐A polycarbonate and polybutylene terephthalate was studied. A direct transesterification mechanism catalyzed by titanium residues, present in commercial PBTP, was deduced. The transesterification reaction can be ‐stopped at various levels by additives capable of complexing the titanium catalyst. This work enhances the possibility of a new approach in macromolecular engineering by directly combining polycondensates in a processing machine such as an extruder.

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.
