Random poly(butylene isophthalate/terephthalate) (PBI/PBT) copolymers of various compositions and different molecular weights were synthesized and characterized by vapour pressure osmometry and viscosity measurements in CHCI 3. The Stockmayer-Fixman procedure was applied to viscometric data in order

✦ Synopsis
The effect of an increasing amount of cyanophenoxy groups on the thermal behaviour and structure of poly(bis-phenoxyphosphazene) was studied by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and thermo-optical analysis. The thermotropic behaviour was preserved in the copolymers, but the crystallinity and the crystal-liquid crystal transition temperatures were considerably lowered as the content in cyano groups increased. Polymorphic forms existed in the copolymer with 6% of cyano groups, as was the case in poly(bis-phenoxyphosphazene).
The obtained mesophases had the same structure as that observed in the homopolymer.
The kinetics of crystallization from the mesophase were analysed and Avrami exponents of n = 3 and 4 have been found. The temperature at which the mesophase is held prior to crystallization was found to have an important influence on the crystallization process.
