Abstract
Disclosed herein is a novel physical form of low molecular weight poly(trimethylene terephthalate). This form may be produced from molten low molecular weight poly(trimethylene terephthalate) material by means of rapid heat transfer from the material. The poly(trimethylene terephthalate) composition is suitable for use as a starting material for solid-state polymerization in order to produce polymers of higher molecular weight.
