Unsaturated polyesters 1 Polyesterifiction of cinnamylsuccinic anhydride with ethylene glycol

The Polyesterification of Cinnamylsuccinic anhydride with ethylene glycol, in the presence or absence of p-toluenesulphonic acid as a catalyst, follows a second order rate equation. Curing of the prepared polyester with styrene was studied. I.R. and N.M.R. spectroscopy were used for both qualitative and quantitative analyses of the polyester resin and its hydrolyzate product after curing with styrene
