Popis: Poly(butylene succinate-co-butylene dimerized fatty acid) (P(BS-co-BDFA)) copolyesters were synthesized from succinic acid (SA) and dimerized fatty acid (DFA) with 1,4-butanediol (BDO) through a two-step process of esterification and polycondensation. The polyester compositions and physical properties of copolyesters were investigated by GPC, 1H NMR and 13C NMR, DSC, WAXD, DMA, TGA, tensile and rheology test. The melting temperature (T m), and crystallization temperature (T c) decreased gradually as the content of DFA monomer increased. P(BS-co-BDFA) copolyesters showed the same crystal structure as the PBS homopolyester. Besides, TGA results indicated that P(BS-co-BDFA)s were of higher thermal stabilities. Moreover, it was found that the synthesized P(BS-co-BDFA)s showed the maximum elongation at break (591%) as the DFA contents were 10 mol%. Rheology analysis indicated that the viscoelastic behavior of the polyesters greatly depended on the molecular weight of polyesters.
