	abstract = {<p>A new series of aromatic copolyesters containing siloxane linkages were prepared by the melt polymerization of bisphenol A (BPA) with eugenol end-capped siloxane (EuSi), diphenyl terephthalate (DPT), and diphenyl isoplithalate (DPI) in varying ratio in the temperature range 220-290 degrees C under reduced pressure in the presence of dibutyl tin dilaurate (DBTL) catalyst. The siloxane copolyesters prepared were characterized by FTIR, H-1-NMR spectroscopy, solution viscosity, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction. The effect of incorporation of eugenol end-capped siloxane was studied on the properties of BPA/DPI/DPT copolyesters. The glass-transition temperature of copolyester was decreased from 184 to 70 degrees C by incorporation of 20\% of eugenol endcapped siloxane. All copolyesters were found to be soluble in commonly used aprotic polar solvents and had film-forming properties. (c) 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>A series of copolyarylates of bisphenol A (BPA) with varying ratios of diphenyl terephthalate (DPT) and diphenyl isophthalate (DPI) were prepared by melt polymerization at a temperature ranging from 200 to 290 degrees C under reduced pressure in the presence of tin octoate catalyst. Tin octoate catalyst has been extensively used for the preparation of biodegradable polymers namely, poly(lactic acid), poly(glycolic acid), and poly(lactide-glycolide) copolyesters. However, there are no reports on the preparation of copolyesters by melt polymerization using tin octoate catalyst. The effect of tin octoate catalyst was studied on the preparation of BPA/DPT/DPI copolyarylates. The copolyarylates were characterized by infrared and H-1 NMR spectroscopy, solution viscosity, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction. The solution viscosities of copolyarylates were varied from 0.43 to 0.56 dL/g and the glass transition temperature (T-g) of copolyarylates was varied from 155 to 222 degrees C by varying the ratio of DPT and DPI. Most of the copolyarylates were found to be soluble in commonly used organic solvents and had film-forming properties. (c) 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.</p>},
