Abstract

A series of novel-sulfonated furanic polyesteramides have been synthesized by polycondensation in the melt-phase. The copolymers were obtained with reasonable molecular weights and high inherent viscosities between 0.2 and 0.4 dL/g. The hydrolytic degradability of polyesteramides was enhanced by the increasing of amide units in the copolymers backbone.

Keywords: Polyesteramide; bio-based polymers; hydrolytic degradation; polycondensation.
