H. Guemmour et al., Synthesis and thermal properties of new polyester based on indane-1,3-dioland terephtaloyl chloride, POLYM BULL, 46(1), 2001, pp. 1-6
New aromatic polyester was synthetized by polycondensation of indane-1,3-di
ol and terephthaloyl chloride. The indane-1,3-diol was synthesised by metal
hydride reduction and characterized by IR, H-1 and C-13 NMR. TWO polyconde
nsation methods was used : solution and interfacial polycondensation in pre
sence of various quaternary ammonium salts The obtained polymers were chara
cterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and viscosities measure
ments, All polymers had glass transition temperature (Tg) in the range of 7
2-77 degreesC and melting temperature (Tm) in the range of 152-184 degreesC
