The work discussed herein focuses on the examination of the effects of crosslinking CBDO containing copolyterephthalates. A series of copolyterephthalates containing the aliphatic CBDO monomer along with aromatic diols was examined. These materials incorporate CBDO, bisphenol A, phloroglucinol, and terephthaloyl chloride and were made using standard solution polymerization techniques. The phloroglucinol, a trifunctional aromatic alcohol, was used as the crosslinking agent. The series of materials examined included both linear and crosslinked systems. The percent incorporations of the selected monomers, CBDO, bisphenol A, phloroglucinol, and terephthaloyl chloride, was varied to create a homologous series of polymers. Each polymer material was characterized for both thermal and mechanical performance.
