First Claim
Patent Images
1. A process for production of a polyester, comprising, heating and agitating one or more monomers or oligomers, polymerizable to a polyester upon heating, in an inert liquid medium at a temperature at which said liquid medium boils, in the absence of a nonvolatile surfactant, provided that:
- a volatile product of said polymerizing is removed by codistillation with said inert liquid medium;
said monomers and said polyester are not swollen nor dissolved by said inert liquid medium.
