초록

The synthesis of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT), whose application is being expanded very rapidly to new apparel and carpet materials, was investigated by melt condensation polymerization using 1,3-propanediol (PDO) and terephthalic acid (TPA). No catalyst was used in the 1st step reaction (esterification), but tetrabutyl titanate(TBT) was used as a polyesterification catalyst ranging from 25 to 75 ppm based on the weight of TPA used in the 2nd step reaction (polyesterification). The molar ratio of PDO to TPA was set as 2.2:1. The effect of reaction conditions on the color and intrinsic viscosity of the final product was investigated. (omitted)
