Stabilization of polymers containing poly(alkylene oxide) units
Abstract
Abstract AND SAID SHORT CHAIN UNITS BEING REPRESENTED BY THE FORMULA A stabilized copolyester composition consisting essentially of (a) a multiplicity of recurring long chain units and short chain ester units joined head-to-tail through ester linkages, said long chain ester units being represented by the formula LINKAGES WHERE X is O, S or NH and (c) up to about 5 percent by weight of an antioxidant. LINKAGES OR TAUTOMERIC WHERE G is a divalent radical remaining after the removal of terminal hydroxyl groups from a poly(alkylene oxide) glycol having a molecular weight of about 400-6000 and a carbon to oxygen ratio of about 2.0-4.3; R is a divalent radical remaining after removal of carboxyl groups from a dicarboxylic acid having a molecular weight less than about 300 and D is a divalent radical remaining after removal of hydroxyl groups from a diol having a molecular weight less than about 250; provided said short chain ester units amount to about 15-95 percent by weight of said copolyester, (b) an effective concentration of a compound containing
