FURANOATE-BASED POLYESTER AND COPOLYESTER COMPOSITIONS USING FALLING STRAND DEVOLATILIZATION

摘要

The present invention is directed to polymers and copolymers, and systems and methods for processing the same. Advantageously, the polymers and copolymers of the present invention have undergone processing in a falling strand devolatilizer and rotary disk finisher such that a low-cost, low-energy, and high-production-rate product is produced.
