Preparation of new biobased polyesters containing glycerol and their photodurability for outdoor applications

Abstract

The synthesis of novel poly(butylene dodecanoate)s containing different percentages of glycerol was successfully carried out. The polyesters are characterized by branched or cross-linked molecular structures, according to the glycerol content. The modification of the linear backbone of the poly(butylene dodecanoate) increases the rigidity and induces significant changes in the polymer behavior toward photodegradation with respect to UV irradiation. Such a result could be very significant for specific outdoor applications of the novel polyesters.
