Abstract

In this work, the melt polycondensation method was used to synthesize aliphatic polyesters from 1,12-dodecanediol and aliphatic diacids with even carbon atoms. Gel permeation chromatography, hydrogen-1 nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, tensile test, dynamic mechanical analysis, and rotational rheometer were used for characterization. All polyesters had high weight average molecular weight (> 60,000 g/mol). Poly(1,12-dodecylene adipate) had the lowest weight average molecular weight (66,360 g/mol) and poor thermal stability. Four polyesters had very flexible molecular chains and shared a crystalline structure with polyethylene. Poly(1,12-dodecylene octanedioate) and poly(1,12-dodecylene sebacate) had tensile strength of 20.8 MPa and 25.3 MPa, respectively, and elongation at break of 255% and 254%, respectively, meaning that their tensile properties were similar to those of polyethylene.
