Pivalolactone, 2. Copolyester synthesis via interchange reactions with polypivalolactone [PDF]
The synthesis of copolyesters via interchange reactions of polypivalolactone (PPVL) with several compounds was studied. The synthetical procedures are two-stage melt processes: in the first stage ester bonds in the polymer chain are cleaved and new ...
