Patent number: 11155675Abstract: A method for synthesizing regioregular polyesters, starting from asymmetric diols, may provide the polymer ordered structure and advantageous physical-chemical properties. Such methods can make it is possible to obtain regioregular polyesters having high glass transition temperatures Tg and crystalline properties. In the case in which the asymmetric diols are used in a pure enantiomeric form, with respect to the chiral carbon bound to the secondary hydroxyl, through the above-mentioned method it is possible to obtain regioregular and stereoregular polyesters, which may have thermal and crystalline properties further ameliorative with respect to non-chiral regioregular polymers.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2017Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: versalis S.p.A.Inventors: Mirco Nodari, Aldo Longo, Martino Colonna, Claudio Gioia

Patent number: 7557174Abstract: The present invention provides carboxy-terminated oligomeric polyester compositions useful in the preparation of “weatherable” polymeric materials, for example weatherable copolyestercarbonates. In one aspect the present invention provides an oligomeric polyester composition comprising structural units derived from at least one diacid, at least one diaryl carbonate and at least one diol. The structural units derived from the diacid are present in a molar excess of from about 10% to about 40% based on a ratio of moles of diacid-derived structural units to moles of diol-derived structural units present in the oligomeric polyester composition. The oligomeric polyester composition is further characterized by the presence of at least some phenoxy end groups.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2006Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: SABIC Innovative Plastics IP BVInventors: Daniel Joseph Brunelle, Martino Colonna, Corrado Berti, Maurizio Fiorini, Enrico Binassi
