A new class of copoly(ether-carbonate)s was synthesized using a melt polycondensation reaction of the bis(hydroxyethyl ether) of bisphenol A with bisphenols and diphenyl carbonate. Copolymers with a wide range of values T g (62È140¡C) were obtained. The copolymer structures were established by 1H NM

Abstract
Summary: Copolyesters of terephthalic acid with bis(hydroxyethyl ether) of bisphenol A (BHEEB) in different molar ratios have been synthesized by reactive blending from terephthalate polyesters and by melt polycondensation from the monomers. By this way, bisphenol A groups were inserted in the polyester chains with the aim to obtain polyesters with improved mechanical properties. The insertion of the BHEEB into the polyester backbone is quantitative and does not give rise to side reactions. These copolyesters can be obtained by the chemical recycling of commercial polymers; indeed BHEEB can be synthesized by chemical recycling of bisphenol A polycarbonate and may be incorporated in the polyester by reactive blending with recycled terephthalate polyesters. A new method for BHEEB synthesis by chemical recycling of PC is also presented.
