Microstructure and Thermal Characteristics of Bio-based Terpolymer Made from Terephthalic Acid with Ethylene Glycol, 1,4-Cyclohexane Dimethanol, and Isosorbide
Abstract:Characterization of a series of bio-based terpolymers containing various amounts of ethylene glycol, 1,4-cyclohexylene dimethanol, and isosorbide units were studied by 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR. The NMR results revealed that they had all random microstructures and that their sequence distribution was affected by the content of isosorbide. From DSC data for the terpolymer series investigated, it was observed that the glass transition temperature increased mainly as the content of isosorbide increased. The glass tran… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
