Synthesis and colloidal properties of polyesters based on glutamic acids and glycols of different nature

Abstract

The paper describes synthesis and colloidal properties of novel a-amino acid based polyesters with controllable hydrophilic-lipophillic balance. Polyesters based on glutamic acid and glycols of different nature were obtained via low-temperature activated polyesterification. Such polymers are able to form micellar structures in self-stabilized water dispersion. Peculiarities of Steglich rection in the case of polyesterefication and side processes were established and optimal conditions for polyester synthesis were determined. © Varvarenko S., Tarnavchyk I., Voronov A., Fihurka N., Dron N., Nosova N., Taras R., Samaryk V., Voronov S., 2013.
