| A polymer comprising a biodegradable condensation polymer of glycerol and a diacid, wherein the polymer has a tensile elastic modulus according to ASTM D412-98a of 3 MPa or less. |
| They are the result of a reaction between a diacid and a diol. |
| The cycloaliphatic diacid provides polyesters with better solubility in MEK than polyester prepared from aromatic and linear diacids. |
| Today, Cathay produces 13,000 metric tons of diacid a year — about half the world's industrial output. |
| In one case, a silane-coated nanoparticle containing amine groups is mixed with a diacid chloride monomer before polymerization. |
| Noteworthy products that can be made using C18 diacid include polyesterification products and polyamides. |
