- Enhanced crystallinity results in a desirable higher melting temperature for a given degree of polymer polymerization.
- TPT tetrakis(2-isopropyl)orthotitanate; also titanium(IV) isopropoxide
- a linear cycloaliphatic polyester resin consists essentially of a polyester having the formula:

- certain stabilizers may be added during the process so that the final PCCD resin may include such stabilizers, preferable in an amount less than about one per cent by weight.
- the above described PCCD polyester is prepared according to process wherein starting CHDM and DMCD are reacted in the presence of a catalyst in an inert atmosphere to form an intermediate PCCD oligomer having ester end groups such as a carboxycyclohexanecarboxylate end group (or ester thereof) and acid or hydroxy end groups such as alkyoxycyclohexanealkyanol end groups.
- the PCCD oligomer preferably has hydroxy end group to ester end group present in about a 1 to 1 ratio so that molecular weight may be increased by further polymerization of the oligomer.
- the PCCD oligomer is next further reacted for increasing the molecular weight of the PCCD.
- the starting CHDM has a tr ⁇ ns-CHDM greater than the equilibrium amount and the reaction is carried out in an inert atmosphere tinder conditions to minimize trans to cis isomerization of said starting DMCD.
- These conditions require the starting PCCD and the starting CHDM to be present in a molar stoichiometric amount to a slight molar excess of-DMCD so that the number of ester end groups such as acid or methyl carboxycyclohexanecarboxylate end groups and the. number hydroxy end groups such as alkyoxycyclohexanealkyanol end groups are in substantially equal proportions for the PCCD oligomer.
- the resulting PCCD oligomer is then reacted to build molecular weight.
- the time period for forming the PCCD oligomer it is desirable to minimize the time period for forming the PCCD oligomer to prevent trans-to-cis isomerization.
- the utilization of a stoichiometric excess of diol or CHDM as a starting reactant slows the reaction rate and results in undesirable isomerization of DMCD.
- a slight stoichiometric excess of ester or DMCD is preferred to compensate for material imbalance created during the process, thereby enhancing the polymerization rate.
- Preferred starting temperatures of the reaction are from about 120 to about 140 degrees Centigrade.
- the preferred reaction temperature for forming the oligomer is from about 200 to about 250, preferably from 220 to 230 degrees Centigrade.
- the preferred order for adding reactants comprises charging the CHDM to the reaction vessel or container, adding the DMCD in slight stoichiometric excess, and, next, adding the catalyst to the reaction vessel containing the starting reactants at the initial reaction temperature.
- This step is preferably conducted under an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen, to form a distillate which is typically collected by condensation.
- the distillate by-product is, based on the starting material, typically an aliphatic alcohol, such as an alkyl alcohol of 1 to 12 carbon atoms.
- the step of further reacting the PCCD oligomer for increasing the molecular weight of the PCCD is carried to obtain a PCCD product that is suitable for use in polymer blends.
- the molecular weight is preferably increased under conditions of less than atmospheric pressure for removing distillate by-product.
- the temperature of the reaction mixture containing oligomers is increased to about 230 to 270 Centigrade.
- the polycondensation reaction is carried between the Tg and Tm polymer under suitable conditions.
- PCCD is an aliphatic polyester resin which has desirable properties for weatherable applications.
- the polyester is made by reacting dimethyl 1,4- cyclohexanedicarboxylate (DMCD) with 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM) in the presence of a catalyst (e.g. TPT).
- DMCD dimethyl 1,4- cyclohexanedicarboxylate
- CHDM 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol
- TPT e.g.
- control of stoichiometry during the process is critical for building molecular weight while minimizing isomerization of DMCD from trans to cis isomer. It is preferred that the molecular weight be maximized while preventing a decrease in the melting point of PCCD by the DMCD portion of the polymer isomerizing from trans to cis isomer.
- the process produces PCCD resin having a viscosity of greater than 4500 poise (at 250 °C) resin with about Tm >
- PCCD is an aliphatic polyester resin made from CHDM (diol), and t-OMCD
- n is preferably greater than about 70 and preferably from about 70 to about 100.
- R is an alkyl group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Preferably R is methyl or ethyl and most preferably methyl.
- the end groups consist essentially of 4-carboxycyclohexanecarboxylate group having the formula
- the end groups are present in substantially equal proportions.
- the PCCD of the present invention is characterized by a relatively low acid content.
- Both monomers are hydrogenation products of DMT as set forth in the example below wherein hydrogenation of the aromatic ring leads to two geometric isomers, the trans and cis isomers for each monomer.
- the monomers have the following formulation.
- Tateno describes a process to produce trans-enriched CHDM by selective distillatiori of r ⁇ ms-CHDM from cis/trans CHDM mixtures heated in the presence of base.
- CHDM is supplied with -70-72% trans content, slightly below the thermodynamic equilibrium transxis ratio (-76% trans isomer).
- DMCD is available with >95% trans content.
- the thermodynamic equilibrium 'for DMCD is at -66% trans content. It is preferable to have fr ⁇ ns-enriched CHDM and DMCD as starting components above the thermodynamic equilibrium.
- the two geometric isomers of CITDM and DMCD are obtained.
- the starting DMCD comprises greater than about 90 percent trans content
- the final PCCD comprises repeating units derived from DMCD having greater than about 85 percent trans content and preferably greater than about 90 percent trans content.
- DMCD isomerization of DMCD is Lewis-acid (e.g. TPT) catalyzed and can occur during polymerization:
- TPT Lewis-acid
- the transxis ratios are important since the Tm of the polymer is related to the transxis ratio.
- the rate of isomerization vs. polymerization is an important parameter that is desirably controlled during the process for the formation of PCCD.
- the reaction rate and the mass balance of the PCCD polymerization reaction are desirably controlled so as to reduce variability of the maximum melt viscosity and reduce polymer Tm variability.
- Preferred reactor starting temperature was lowered to 130 °C.
- CHDM was charged before t-DMCD.
- the vacuum rates for the polycondensation stage was ramped from an initial state to a higher vacuum.
- the stoichiometry was set at 1.005:1 diester:diol.
- Table 2 shows some properties of the PCCD polymer as a function of different melt viscosities and T m 's.
- the two most critical factors governing PCCD polymerization and the resulting polymer properties were found to be: 1) control of stoichiometry prior to charging the reactor and in the reactor during the polymerization, and 2) control of trans to cis isomerization of DMCD during the polymerization.
- the rates of transesterification reactions will depend on the sterics and electronics of the endgroups. Cyclohexyl endgroups are very bulky, especially compared to the hydroxybutyl endgroups found in PBT. For commercially produced polyesters such as poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET, and poly(butylene terephthalate), PBT, high diokdiester ratios are preferred because they enhance oligomer formation rates without inhibiting polycondensation rates. For PCCD, however, high glycol to diester monomer ratios lead to very slow polycondensation rates and- an undesirable decrease in tr ⁇ ns-DMCD content.
- the variability in melting point is attributed to the trans isomer content of the CHDM and DMCD moieties in the polymer.
- CHDM does not isomerize during the polymerization, its initial trans content still effects the final melting temperature of the polymer.
- DMCD does show trans to cis isomerization during the polymerization process, in spite of its high initial trans content.
- the transxis ratios may be determined by C-13 NMR, and can be determined using a 300 MHz FT-NMR spectrometer.
- the glycol component in PCCD is CHDM, which has two characteristics that make the polycondensation reaction difficult.
- CHDM has low volatility, making it difficult to remove from the system.
- CHDM is very bulky and creates a large amount of steric hindrance that inhibits transesterification once the CHDM is attached to a t-DMCD carboxyl group.
- CHDM endgroups act like chain-stoppers due to slow transesterification kinetics. Therefore, in order to obtain high molecular weight PCCD, the ester interchange reactions are critical to building molecular weight. The result is that a stoichiometrically controlled ratio of diester to diol is required in order to obtain equal numbers of hydroxyl and ester endgrou s and maximize build through ester interchange.
- the preferred ratio of diester :diol (DMCD:CHDM) is 0.98 to 1.02; more preferred is 0.995 to 1.005. It is contemplated that a slight excess of diester
- DMCD may be added to compensate for volatility of DMCD during the reaction. Typically, such excess of DMCD utilized is less than one percent but the excess may vary from reactor to reactor.
- a typical laboratory scale procedure follows. A 500 ml 3-neck flask was charged with r-DMCD (100.00 g) and CHDM (71.66 g), a 1.005:1 dieste ⁇ diol mole ratio. The flask was fitted with a mechanical stirrer, thermometer, and Dean-Stark trap with condenser, and then placed in an oil bath heated to 170 °C. When the reaction temperature reached 155 °C, tetraisopropyltitanate (TPT, 0.17 ml, 200 ppm based on theoretical polymer yield) was added to the flask and the timer was started. Methanol began to distill after about 2 minutes. The oil temperature was gradually heated to 230

After cooling to room temperature, the carboxyl end groups are titrated with 0.01 N-tetrabutylammonium hydroxide/ 2,2,2- trifluoroethanol. Carboxyl endgroups are reported as millimole equivalents per kilogram.

- Chemical equivalents of these diacids include esters, alkyl esters, e.g., dialkyl esters, diaryl esters, anhydrides, salts, acid chlorides, acid bromides, and the like.

- a suitable catalyst such as a tetrakis (2-ethyl hexyl) titanate
- Metals such as Zr, Sn, Ge, Sb, Al are typical catalysts.
- the catalyst level as referred to herein is based on the ppm of catalyst per theoretical polymer weight, such as 200 ppm titanium per weight polymer. Typically, the amount of catalyst present is less than 500 ppm.
