| Abstract: | Block copolycondensates containing both unsaturated polyester and polysiloxane blocks have been prepared by copolycondensation of reactive oligomers; the bonds between the blocks are either Si? O? C or Si? C. This article is devoted to poly(ethylene adipate-co-maleate-b-siloxane) with Si? O? C bonds. The reactive oligomers are studied, before or after modification, by tonometry, end-group titration, GPC, and NMR. Contrary to the block copolycondensates of the same kind described in the literature, those reported in this work have high molecular weights (five block of each kind). These high-molecular-weight block polycondensates have been obtained by a careful study of the parameters of the polycondensation. |
