이성분계 rendom copolyeseters인 Poly(butylene succinate-co-butylene terephthalate)(PBS/PBT)를 합성하고 $^1H$ NMR spectroecopy를 이용하여 전 조성범위에 걸쳐 sepuence distribution을 조사하였다. PBS/PBT 공중합물의 융점(Tm)은 공중합물내 dimethyl terephthalate(DMT)의 함량이 증가함에 따라 점차적으로 감소하는 현상을 나타냈고 ST3(DMT 65.8mol%)에서 최저융점(eutetic point) 거동을 보였다. 이러한 공중합물의 융점거동은 공중합물의 몰분율(Xa)보다는 triad fraction으로 계산된 sequence propagation probability(P)에 더욱 의존하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 succinate unit(또는 terephthalate unit)의 함량이 많은 공중합물들은 terephthalate unit(또는 succinate unit)를 완전히 배제시키면서 단지 PBS(또는PBT)만의 결정을 형성하였다.
The binary random copolyesters of poly(butylene succinate-co-butylene terephthalate) (PBS/PBT) were synthesized and their sequence distributions were investigated over the entire range for PBS/PBT copolyester compositions by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The melting point (Tm) of these copolyesters were depressed gradually with the increase of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) mol% in composition and appeared an eutetic behaviour which appears a minimum at ST3 (DMT 65.8 mol%). The melting behaviour of PBS/PBT copolyester was not directly depended on molar fraction (Xa) but on only the sequence propagation probability (P) which occurs in triad fraction. It also can be seen that when the succinate units (or terephthalate units) were abundant enough, PBS/PBT Copolymers formed only PBS (or PBT) crystal with complete rejection of the terephthalate units (or succinate units).
