The Homopolymerization of Hydroxyalkalbenzoic Acid and Hydroxyphenylacetic Acid
In this study o-,m-, and p-hydroxymethylbenzoic acids, p-hydroxyethylbenzoic acis, p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid and some of the their derivatives w ere homopolymeri- zed. The procedures used in the synthesis of polymers were direct esterification and tran- sesterification reactions. The direct polyesterification reactions were carried out either by using acidic catalysts such as p-toluenesulphonic acid, antimony trioxide or without using any catalyst. The IR spectra and some physical properties of the homopolymers were examined.
