Card type aromatic polyesters

The presented monography deals with the very interesting class of polymers ¿ aromatic polyesters. Polymers of this class are characterized by especially high heat- and thermal- stability. Often the melting points of these polymers are higher than their destruction points and makes their thermal processing into different items difficult. Their processing from the solutions of the polymers is mostly limited due to their limited solubility in the solvents. Therefore, the polymers that are simultaneously characterized by good solubility and high thermal stability have special practical importance in different fields of technologies. Such polymers are card type polymers in the macromolecules of which a carbon atom simultaneously belongs both to the main polymeric chain and in the structure of the substituted group. Such polymers appeared to have special properties good solubility and high thermal stability. The present monograph is dedicated to the synthesis and study of the norbornane type card group containing polymers.
