Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
Thermoplastic aromatic polyesters based on diphenols, terephthalic and isophthalic acid (acid ratio of from 7:3 to 3:7), chain terminators and optionally branching agents, characterised in that the chain terminators are compounds of the formula (I) ##STR6## wherein X represents OH, OCOCl or COCl and R represents a branched chain alkyl radical having 8 or 9 carbon atoms, provided that in the alkyl radical R 47 to 89% of the hydrogen atoms are part of methyl groups, that R is in the o- and/or p-position and the upper limit of the amount of the o-isomer is 20%.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
Thermoplastic aromatic polyesters based on diphenols, terephthalic and isophthalic acid (acid ratio of from 7:3 to 3:7), chain terminators and optionally branching agents, characterised in that the chain terminators are compounds of the formula (I) ##STR6## wherein X represents OH, OCOCl or COCl and R represents a branched chain alkyl radical having 8 or 9 carbon atoms, provided that in the alkyl radical R 47 to 89% of the hydrogen atoms are part of methyl groups, that R is in the o- and/or p-position and the upper limit of the amount of the o-isomer is 20%.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
Polyesters according to claim 1, characterised in that they have a relative solution viscosity of from 1.18 to 2.0.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
Polyesters according to claim 1 or 2, characterised in that they have a relative solution viscosity of from 1.2 to 1.5.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
Polyesters according to any of claims 1 to 3, characterised in that the chain terminators are compounds of the formulae: ##STR7##
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
65 words
A process for the preparation of the polyesters according to claims 1 to 4, according to the two-phase boundary surface process, characterised in that the compounds (I), optionally in a solvent, are introduced simultaneously with the terephthalic and isophthalic acid dichlorides or the solutions thereof into a stirred two phase mixture of an alkaline aqueous diphenolate solution, catalysts, and a solvent for the aromatic polyester.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process according to claim 5, characterised in that the compounds (I) are used in quantities of from 0.1 to 10 mol %.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process according to claim 6, characterised in that the compounds (I) are used in quantities of from 0.3 to 7 mol %.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process according to claims 5 to 7, characterised in that the reaction is carried out at a temperature of from 0° C. to 40° C.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
21 words
The use of the polyesters according to claims 1 to 4 for the production of injection moulded articles, films and coatings.
