Abstract

Abstract A heat-curable and solvent-soluble ester group containing polymer composition is prepared by the steps of: (1) either (i) reacting a highly polymerized linear aromatic polyester with a diaryl carbonate to depolymerize it to a solvent-soluble low-molecular-weight polyester (component A) containing terminal aryl carboxylate groups, or (ii) effecting the above depolymerization in the presence of a compound containing at least two specified functional groups thereby to form a modified solvent-soluble low-molecular-weight polyester (component A') containing terminal aryl carboxylate groups; and (2) either (i) mixing the resulting component A or A' with a monomeric or solvent-soluble polymeric, polyfunctional compound (component B) containing at least two hydroxyl and/or primary or secondary amino groups or (ii) partially reacting the resulting component A or A' with the component B. The composition has superior workability in molding and curing, and gives cured molded products of high utilitarian value. It is especially suitable for use in wire enamelling varnishes.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim 125 words
A heat-curable solvent-soluble ester group containing polymer composition comprising a mixture of (1) a solvent-soluble low molecular weight polyester in which at least 30 mole percent of the entire terminal groups are aryl carboxylate groups modified with a compound containing at least two functional groups selected from the group consisting of (a) a carboxyl group or its functional derivatives, (b) a cyclic carboxylic anhydride group or its precursors, (c) a primary or secondary amino group, (d) an isocyanate group or its stabilized groups or precursors, (e) an aminoacetic group or its functional derivatives, and (f) a hydroxyl group, and (2) a monomeric or solvent-soluble polymeric polyfunctional compound containing at least two reactive groups selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, primary amino and secondary amino.
