Short chain branched polyethylene polyester segmented copolymers
This work presents the synthesis and characterization of poly (ethylene-co-1,2-octylene succinate) segmented polyethylene (PE) block copolymers synthesized via melt polycondensation of hydroxy-telechelic polyethylene (HTPE) macromonomers with 1,2-octane diol (12OD) and dimethyl succinate (DMS). Copolymers were synthesized with varying PE content (90, 75, 60, 50, and 25 wt%) and characterized for thermal, mechanical, and morphological properties. The introduction of 12OD disrupted crystallinity and effectively enhanced elongation at break, particularly for segmented copolymers with higher PE content. Increasing PE content improved mechanical properties, while higher polyester content reduced crystallinity and promoted the emergence of distinct polyester thermal transitions. These copolymers offer potential for chemical recycling with polyester segments serving as depolymerization points, thus contributing to sustainable material solutions and end of life (EOL) recycling strategies.
