SUMMARY
New aromatic polyester was synthetized by polycondensation of indane-1,3-diol and terephthaloyl chloride. The indane-1,3-diol was synthesised by metal hydride reduction and characterized by IR, 1H and 13C NMR. Two polycondensation methods was used : solution and interfacial polycondensation in presence of various quaternary ammonium salts. The obtained polymers were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and viscosities measurements. All polymers had glass transition temperature (Tg) in the range of 72–77°C and melting temperature (Tm) in the range of 152–184°C.
