Novel aliphatic, random copolyesters, containing co-units derived from a poly(alkylene dicarboxylate) and a poly(butylene 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate), have been synthesized and characterized in terms of molecular structure and thermal properties. In particular, the effects of the molar composition, the length of the aliphatic sequences, and the cis/trans ratio of the 1,4-cyclohexylene units on the characteristics of the crystalline and amorphous phases are discussed. Some interesting structure-property relationships have been found. The materials result to be very promising new biopolymers as they are characterized by a potential biodegradability and good physical properties, which can be easily modified, according to the requests of specific applications, by little changes in the molecular structure.
