A preparation method of a polyester resin includes: under predetermined depolymerization conditions, mixing a polyester resin, a resin dissolvent and a polycondensation catalyst to depolymerize the polyester resin and form a first reaction mixture; adding a first monomer to the first reaction mixture to form a second reaction mixture; under predetermined polymerization conditions, adding a second monomer to the second reaction mixture to polymerize the depolymerized polyester resin and form a third reaction mixture; and adding a neutralizing agent to neutralize the polymerized reaction product of the third reaction mixture.

Preparation method of polyester resin

The present invention relates to the preparation of nanoparticles of silver (Ag) and silver alloyed with other elements such as platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), gold (Au), aluminum (Al), cadmium (Cd) and sulfur (S) in surfactant solutions. The surfactant molecules have the intrinsic property to adsorb into the interface, which are formed between two different phases. Thus, the surfactant molecules would adsorb into the surface of nuclei in solution. The adsorbed surfactant molecules from the solution prevent the coalescence of particles and control the rate of particle growth. By choosing the proper kind and/or concentration of surfactants, the size of particles formed in solution can be controlled in nm scale.
