Linear aliphatic polyesters were prepared from Pripol 1012, a diacidic C18 fatty acid dimer, and 1,3-propanediol employing a lipase or a titanium tetrabutanoate. Metal-based catalysis (route M) was carried out with a precondensation at 180 °C and 600 mbar followed by a final condensation at 220 °C a...
