Advancing Step-Growth Polymers:  Novel Macromolecular Design and Electrostatic Interactions in Polyesters and Polyurethanes

Conventional melt transesterification successfully synthesized high molecular weight segmented copolyesters.  The cycloaliphatic monomers 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol (CBDO) and dimethyl-1,4-cyclohexane dicarboxylate (DMCD) afforded sterically hindered, ester carbonyls in high-Tg polyeste...
