These model compounds closely approximate the resonance sites found in the polymer and oligomer. ,. The deuteration half-life tl/2 is measured by measuring the light transmittance of the sample via the laser and the photodetector as a function of time on a temperature controlled heating: film stage. This measurement is achieved by exposing the polymer to a temperature Tmax&apos; and then allowing it to cool to the desired temperature. The sample is then held at the desired temperature by heating the chuck stage while performing a measure of light transmission as a function of time. Initially, the sample was visually transparent, had high light transmission, and became opaque when the sample crystallized. The crystallization half-life is recorded as the time when the light transmittance is between the initial light transmittance and the final light transmittance. Tmax is defined as the temperature required to melt the crystalline phase domain of the sample (if present in the crystalline phase domain). The _ reported in the examples below indicates that each sample is heated to condition the temperature of the sample prior to the crystallization half-life metric. The temperature in Dingsaki depends on the composition' and is typically different for each polyester. For example, the PCT may have to be heated to greater than 29 〇. A certain temperature of enthalpy to melt the crystalline phase. The initial degree uses a gradient density column at 23. Underarm measurement. The melt viscosity reported in this paper utilizes the Rheology Dynamic Analyzer (RDA II). The melt viscosity is measured as a function of shear rate at the reported temperature over a frequency range of 1 to 4 radians per second. Zero shear melt viscosity (η.) is the melting viscosity at zero shear rate estimated by extrapolation of data 119731.doc -304-200804454 for the mode known in the art. This step is automatically performed by the Rheology Dynamic Analyzer (RDA π) software.

The sample bottle was then placed in a preheated to 3 Torr. (: in the heater (drilled for discharge, but closely attached to the sampling bottle) 'maintained in the heater for 5 minutes. Then remove the sampling bottle and air cooled on the bench. Sample bottle cooling Thereafter, remove the top of the sample bottle and place the sample bottle on the test balance and weigh it. After recording the weight, carefully add water to completely fill the sample bottle and record its weight. In this context, 'completely fill the sample The bottle device is added to the top of the sampling bottle and judged to be the same height as measured (wtl). Calculate the weight difference (wt2). By subtracting wt2 from wtl, the substituted water due to foaming of the polymer can be obtained. Amount (wt3 = wtl - wt2). Assuming that the density of water in this test is i, the weight can be converted into a volume, Vl = wtl, V2 = wt2 and V3 = wt3.

For a given sample, the Iz〇d impact strength is subjected to a major shift in a short temperature interval. For example, the impact strength of a copolyester based on 38 mole % ethylene glycol is subjected to this transfer at ^ and 汕乂. This transfer temperature is related to damage patterns, brittleness/low energy damage at lower temperatures and toughness/high energy damage at higher temperatures. This temperature transfer is referred to as:: The transfer temperature Tbd' is a measure of tenacity. The Tbd is reported in Table 2 and the molar % of the comonomer is due to Figure 2.

NMR analysis of the starting material of 2,2,4,4-tetradecyl-i,3-cyclobutanediol showed a cis/inverse ratio of 53/47. The polyester of this example was prepared at a ratio of 1.2/1 diol/acid. The overall excess was derived from 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol. Sufficient dibutyltin oxide catalyst was added to obtain 300 ppm tin in the final polymer. The flask was vacuum-reduced under 〇·2 SCFC nitrogen scrubbing. The flask was immersed in a Belmont metal bath at 20 ° C and stirred at 200 RPM after the reaction had melted. After about 2.5 hours, the temperature was raised to 210 C ' and these conditions were maintained for an additional 2 hours. Increase the temperature to 28 5 ° C (within about 25 minutes) and bring the pressure down to ο mm Hg over a 5 minute period. When the viscosity increases, the agitation is reduced, with 15 RpM being the minimum agitation used. The total polymerization time is varied to obtain the intrinsic viscosity of the target. After the completion of the I-coupling reaction, the Belm〇nt metal bath was lowered and the polymer was cooled to below its glass transition temperature. After about 30 minutes, the flask was again submerged in a Belmont metal bath (the temperature was puncated to 295 C during this 30 minute waiting period) and the polymer mass was heated until it was pulled away from the glass to abrade. The I-complex mass was placed in a flask and scrambled at a moderate level until the polymer had cooled. The polymer was removed from the flask and ground to pass through a 3 m sieve.
