Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Renewable alternating aliphatic–aromatic copolyesters are obtained through the polycondensation of biobased diacyl chlorides and bisphenols derived from ferulic acid and biosourced diols. The <italic>T</italic>_g of these thermoplastics can be tailored to closely match those of petroleum‐based poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and also give access to applications requiring polyesters with lower glass‐transition temperatures. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4svjqhxd" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
