  2. Polyethylene naphthalate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene_naphthalate

    Two major manufacturing routes exist for polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), i.e. an ester or an acid process, named according to whether the starting monomer is a diester or a diacid derivative, respectively. In both cases for PEN, the glycol monomer is ethylene glycol.

  3. Dicarboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicarboxylic_acid

    Dicarboxylic acids are used in the preparation of copolymers such as polyamides and polyesters. The most widely used dicarboxylic acid in the industry is adipic acid, which is a precursor in the production of nylon. Other examples of dicarboxylic acids include aspartic acid and glutamic acid, two amino acids in the human body.

    2,6-Naphthalenedicarboxylic acid is an organic compound with the formula C 10 H 6 (CO 2 H) 2. This colorless solid is one of several isomers of naphthalenedicarboxylic acid. This colorless solid is one of several isomers of naphthalenedicarboxylic acid.

  5. 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,5-Furandicarboxylic_acid

    2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is an organic chemical compound consisting of two carboxylic acid groups attached to a central furan ring. It was first reported as dehydromucic acid by Rudolph Fittig and Heinzelmann in 1876, who produced it via the action of concentrated hydrobromic acid upon mucic acid . [ 2 ]

  6. Dibasic ester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dibasic_ester

    Dibasic ester or DBE is an ester of a dicarboxylic acid.Depending on the application, the alcohol may be methanol or higher molecular weight monoalcohols. Mixtures of different methyl dibasic esters are commercially produced from short-chain acids such as adipic acid, glutaric acid, and succinic acid. [1]

  7. Condensation polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensation_polymer

    One important class of condensation polymers are polyamides. [4] They arise from the reaction of carboxylic acid and an amine. Examples include nylons and proteins.When prepared from amino-carboxylic acids, e.g. amino acids, the stoichiometry of the polymerization includes co-formation of water:

  9. Alcohol oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_oxidation

    The oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids can be carried out using a variety of reagents, but O 2 /air and nitric acid dominate as the oxidants on a commercial scale. Large scale oxidations of this type are used for the conversion of cyclohexanol alone or as a mixture with cyclohexanone to adipic acid. Similarly cyclododecanol is ...
