✦ Synopsis

The kinetics of the polymerization of phthalic anhydride with ethylene carbonate to give poly(ethy1ene phthalate) were studied to elucidate the reaction mechanism. Zeroorder kinetics were observed to varying degrees of reaction depending upon reaction temperature. Although no clear-cut overall reaction order could be established, previously proposed mechanisms involving decomposition of the carbonate as the first step of the reaction were ruled out. The chain propagation step was on the order of or faster than the initiation step of the reaction. Virtually no ether-glycol species were formed during the polymerization. A new mechanism was proposed for the polymerization.

## Abstract A simple kinetic model capable of describing the behaviors of solid‐state polymerization (SSP) of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) has been developed. According to this model, there are two types of end groups, namely active end groups and inactive end groups, and the solid‐state poly
