Abstract
AbstractThe synthesis and properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) copolymers containing four bisester diamide structural units are reported. Two of the bisester diamides consist of three para‐substituted aromatic rings, and the other two consist of three meta‐substituted aromatic rings. The copolymers have been characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance, differential scanning calorimetry, and dilute solution viscometry. Three of the copolymers can be compression‐molded into amorphous films for oxygen barrier testing, and one of these three films can be oriented for additional barrier testing. The three amorphous films all have lower permeabilities than unoriented PET. However, this difference diminishes upon the orientation of the polymer films. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
