Abstract
A process for making high-performance polyetherester resins and thermosets is disclosed. A polyether polyol reacts with a dicarboxylic acid or anhydride in the presence of an insertion catalyst to produce an acid-terminated polyetherester resin. Reaction of this resin reacts with a primary diol or a diepoxy compound gives a chain-extended polyetherester resin that can be cured with a vinyl monomer to produce a high-performance polyetherester thermoset. Properties of the thermosets rival or exceed those of more expensive high-performance iso and vinyl ester resins.
