  • Patent number: 9676902
    Abstract: Aliphatic-aromatic copolyester comprising the repeating units, which comprise a dicarboxylic component and a dihydroxylic component: —[—O—(R11)—O—C(O)—(R13)—C(O)—]— —[—O—(R12)—O—C(O)—(R14)—C(O)—]—. The dihydroxylic component comprises units —O—(R11)—O— and —O—(R12)—O— from diols, wherein R11 and R12 individually are selected from C2-C14 alkylene, C5-C10 cycloalkylene, C2-C12 oxyalkylene, heterocycles and mixtures thereof. The dicarboxylic component comprises units —C(O)—(R13)—C(O)— from aliphatic diacids and units —C(O)—(R14)—C(O)— from aromatic diacids, wherein R13 is C0-C20 alkylene and mixtures thereof. The aromatic diacids comprise at least one heterocyclic aromatic diacid of renewable origin, and preferably furandicarboxylic acid. The molar percentage of the aromatic diacids is >90% and <100% of the dicarboxylic component. The aliphatic-aromatic copolyester has appreciable workability, toughness and high values for ultimate tensile strength and elastic modulus.
