Kinetics of transesterification of dimethylene terephthalate with ethylene glycol

摘要

AbstractThere is a disagreement about the order of reaction of transesterification of DMT with EG. The reactivity of the two ester groups is not compared yet. The transesterification of DMT and MHET is studied to establish the kinetics of the process. Attempts are made to treat the kinetic data on a mathematical model for third‐order reactio
