[0002] can prepare container by various plastic materials by the whole bag of tricks (extrusion-blown modling, stretch-blow etc.).For example, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the common used material that is used to prepare the bottle that is used for carbonated soft drink and water.Unfortunately, when the filling temp of container raise, when being used for pasteurization or retorting and using, PET became and is difficult to use.The material of higher temperature such as polycarbonate or acrylic polymers, can make container, but the block of these materials is poor, has limited the product type that these materials can hold.Therefore, in industry, need to make the high hot material (high-heat) with good barrier of container.

[0003] poly terephthalic acid 1,4 cyclohexane dimethanol ester (P ℃ of T), a kind of only based on the polyester of terephthalic acid or its ester and 1,4 cyclohexane dimethanol, known in the art and be commercially available getting.This polyester when when cooling from melt crystallization promptly, this make by methods known in the art as extrude, injection molding and similar approach be difficult to form amorphous goods.Slack-off for the crystallization rate that makes PCT, can prepare the copolyesters that contains other dicarboxylic acid or glycol such as m-phthalic acid or ethylene glycol.The PCT of these ethylene glycol or isophthalate modified is also known in the art and be commercially available getting.

[0004] a kind of copolyesters commonly used that is used to produce film, sheet material and moulded product is made by terephthalic acid, 1,4 cyclohexane dimethanol and ethylene glycol.Though these copolyesters can be used in the application that many terminals use, when competent modification ethylene glycol is contained in the prescription so that when long crystallization half-life is provided, they demonstrate deficiency at the aspect of performance as second-order transition temperature and shock strength etc.For example, have sufficiently long crystallization half-life by terephthalic acid, 1, the copolyesters that 4-cyclohexanedimethanol and ethylene glycol are made can provide amorphous products, than composition disclosed herein, these products demonstrations are considered to higher undesirablely ductile-brittle transition temperature and lower second-order transition temperature.

[0005] 4,4 '-polycarbonate (bisphenol A polycarbonate) of isopropylidene biphenol has been used as the Res fungibiles of polyester known in the art and has been well-known engineering moulding plastics.Bisphenol A polycarbonate is a kind of transparent high performance plastics with good physicals such as dimensional stability, high heat resistance and good shock strength.Though bisphenol-a polycarbonate has many good physicalies, its higher melt viscosity causes the melt processability of difference and polycarbonate to show the chemical resistant properties of going on business.It also is difficult to thermoforming in addition.

[0006] also described usually in the art and contained 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl--1, the polymkeric substance of 3-cyclobutanediol.Yet usually, these polymkeric substance demonstrate high logarithmic viscosity number, high melt viscosity and/or high Tg (second-order transition temperature), make that used not competent manufacturing of equipment or post polymerization processed these materials in the industry.

[0007] thereby, need to contain at least a container in the art with bonded polymkeric substance of two or more performances, described performance be selected from following one of at least: toughness, high glass-transition temperature, high impact, stability to hydrolysis, chemical resistant properties, long crystallization half-life, low ductile-brittle transition temperature, good color and the transparency, lower density and/or the hot-forming property of polyester remain on the workability on the used standard equipment in the industry simultaneously.

Summary of the invention

[0008] it is believed that, comprise have specific monomer composition, logarithmic viscosity number and/or second-order transition temperature by terephthalic acid, its ester or their mixture, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl--1, certain container of the polymer blend that the 3-cyclobutanediol forms, one or more aspects in the following: high impact, stability to hydrolysis, toughness, chemical resistant properties, good color and the transparency, long crystallization half-life, low ductile-brittle transition temperature, lower proportion and hot-forming property are better than polyester known in the art and polycarbonate.These compositions it is believed that and are being similar to polycarbonate aspect the thermotolerance and still can processing on standard industry equipment.

[00128] it is believed that polyester contained in the container of the present invention and/or polymer blend for example can have the combination of the uniqueness of following two or more physical properties: medium or high impact, high glass-transition temperature, chemical resistance, hydrolytic stability, toughness, low ductile-brittle transition temperature, good color and the transparency, low-density and long crystallization half-life and good processing characteristics allow them to be configured as goods thus easily. In some embodiments of the present invention, polyester has two or more combination of the performance combination of the unique combination of good impact strength, heat resistance, chemical resistance, density performance and/or good impact strength, heat resistance and processability and/or described performance, and this is former to be considered to not be present in the container that comprises the polymer blend that contains polyester disclosed herein.

[00129] as used in this article, term " container " should be understood and refers to hold or the recipient (receptacle) of storage medium. " container " includes but not limited to bottle, bag, phial (vials), pipe and tank. These kind container application in industry include but not limited to food, beverage, cosmetics and personal care applications.

[00130] term used herein " bottle " refers to store or the recipient that comprises plastics of receiving fluids.

[00131] as used in this article, term " polyester " intention comprises " copolyesters " and is interpreted as referring to the synthetic polymer that the reaction by one or more bifunctional carboxylic acids and/or polyfunctional carboxylic acids and one or more difunctionality hydroxy compounds and/or multifunctional hydroxy compounds prepares. Usually, the bifunctional carboxylic acid can be dicarboxylic acids, and the difunctionality hydroxy compounds can be dihydroxy alcohol, for example two pure and mild dihydroxylic alcohols. As used in this article, term " glycol " includes but not limited to glycol, glycol and/or multifunctional hydroxy compounds, for example branching agent. Perhaps, the bifunctional carboxylic acid can be hydroxycarboxylic acid, and such as for example P-hydroxybenzoic acid, and the difunctionality hydroxy compounds may be the aryl nucleus with 2 hydroxyl substituents, for example quinhydrones. As used in this article, term " residue " refers to be incorporated into by polycondensation and/or esterification by corresponding monomer any organic structure of polymer. As used in this article, term " repetitive " refers to have by the dicarboxylic acid residue of carbonyl oxygen base group bonding and the organic structure of diol residue. Therefore, for example, dicarboxylic acid residue can be derived from dicarboxylic acid monomer or its relevant carboxylic acid halides, ester, salt, acid anhydrides or its mixture. In addition, as used in this article, term " diacid " comprises the polyfunctional acid, such as branching agent. Thereby, as used in this article, term " dicarboxylic acids " intention comprises any derivative of dicarboxylic acids and dicarboxylic acids, comprises carboxylic acid halides, ester, half ester, salt, half salt, acid anhydrides, mixed acid anhydride or its mixture that it is relevant, and they can be used for course of reaction with glycol with the preparation polyester. As used in this article, term " terephthalic acid (TPA) " intention comprises any derivative of terephthalic acid (TPA) itself and its residue and terephthalic acid (TPA), comprise carboxylic acid halides, ester, half ester, salt, half salt, acid anhydrides, mixed acid anhydride or its mixture or its residue that it is relevant, they can be used for course of reaction with glycol with the preparation polyester.
