Studies on Polymerization and Ring Formation. Iii. Glycol Esters of Carbonic Acid

Abstract

methylene carbonate has been prepared by thermal decomposition of its usual polymeric form. Hexamethylene carbonate is tough and elastic.Wilmington, Delaware

Carbonation of Epoxy Methyl Soyate at Atmospheric Pressure

“…Short chain linear and cyclic organic carbonates are useful industrial solvents and intermediate chemicals that are commonly produced by the carbonation, carbonylation, phosgenation, or transesterification of alcohols [1][2][3][4] . These reactions may involve hazardous co-reactants such as phosgene or generate side products.…”

Advanced microstructures based on poly(trimethylene carbonate) : microfabrication and stereolithography

“…[83] It is an amorphous polymer with low glass transition, and is prepared by ring opening polymerization of the cyclic trimethylene carbonate (TMC) monomer. [84] It can be copolymerized with other cyclic monomers to yield materials with tuneable physical and chemical properties.…”

Polycarbonates from biorenewable diols via carbonate metathesis polymerization

“…Although 1,10-decanediol has previously been incorporated into polycarbonates, 42,43 those studies generally resulted in low molecular weight material not directly useful as a biodegradable thermoplastic. The obtained oligomers were mostly employed as pre-polymers to produce polyurethanes.…”
