Abstract

A novel procedure for the synthesis of a 3D network polyester bearing silsesquioxane cores was executed to prepare the ternary silsesquioxane-linked copolyester BNH (BNH4 and BNH8) based on 4-acetoxy benzoic acid (ABA), 6-acetoxy-2-naphthoxylic acid (ANA), and a silsesquioxane-cored monomer (CSQ-AHA4 or CSQ-AHA8). The thermal data and phase behavior indicated that moderate crosslinking would reduce the stacking of the backbones, thereby enhancing the mobility of the backbone. However, greater crosslinking would limit the movement of the backbone, while the 3D cross-linked structure enhanced the structural stability of the phase region and the uniformity of the crystal size distribution. The loose fiber bundles showed that the participation of the 3D configuration and silsesquioxane increased the chain flexibility, and facilitated the formation of strong polyester ultrafine fibers. It was possible to improve the lateral mechanical properties of the oriented polyester materials, probably improving the mechanical properties aspect ratio of thin film materials.
