The search for rigid, tough polyesters with high <i>T</i> _g - renewable aromatic polyesters with high isosorbide content.

ABSTRACT: Renewable polyesters with a good balance between impact strength and elastic modulus (stiffness) are not very common, especially when combined with high glass transition temperature (T _g). Achieving such high performance properties would enable the substitution of high performance polymers like ABS and polycarbonate with chemically recyclable polyesters from bio-based or recycled sources. One of the challenges in developing these materials is to select the right composition of the right monomers/comonomer ratios and making these materials with high molecular weight, which can be challenging since some of the most promising rigid diols, such as isosorbide, are unreactive. This study comprises aromatic polyesters from (potentially) renewable monomers, using bio-based isosor
