A novel hyperbranched polyether by melt transetherification
Abstract
Melt self-condensation of 1-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-3,5-bis(methoxymethyl)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene in the presence of an acid catalyst via a transetherification process yielded a soluble high molecular weight hyperbranched polyether, whose structure was established by NMR spectroscopy.
