Notizen:
Polymers and copolymers were prepared from the acetoxy derivatives of m- and p-hydroxybenzoic acids. Molecular weights of over 20,000 were obtained for poly(m-hydroxybenzoic acid) and copolymers containing up to 60% para isomer. These polyesters were crystalline, and the degree of crystallinity increased as the para isomer content was increased. Blocks of the high-melting, insoluble poly(p-hydroxybenzoic acid) tend to form in copolymers containing a high proportion of the para isomer because of the difference in reactivity of the two isomers. Copolymers containing at least 55% of the meta isomer are soluble in several classes of solvents. The copolymers do not have sharply defined melting points, but have softening temperatures ranging from 150°C. to over 300°C. Tensile strengths of approximately 10,000 psi and elongations of about 6% to 40% were obtained. The polymers were relatively stable to oxidative degradation, but not to hydrolysis.
