B. Boutevin et al., POLY(BUTYLENE TEREPHTHALATE) OLIGOMERS CONTAINING ORGANOSILANE END-GROUPS, Macromolecular chemistry and physics, 197(4), 1996, pp. 1325-1336
Oligomers with poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) containing organosil
ane extremities were prepared by reacting an alpha-allylic oligomer of
PBT with silanethiols or with silanes. The alpha-allylic oligomer of
PBT was synthesized by condensation of allyl alcohol, 1,4-butanediol a
nd terephthaloyl dichloride. All the oligomers were characterized by m
eans of proton nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier-transform infrared
spectroscopy, size-exclusion chromatography, gas chromatography and hi
gh-performance liquid chromatography. Their thermal properties were al
so investigated.
