| abstract |
The invention relates to a process for preparing a polymer having a 2,5- furandicarboxylate moiety within the polymer backbone, and having a number average molecular weight of at least 25,000, comprising a transesterification step, a polycon - densation step, a drying and/or crystallizing step, and a step wherein the polymer is subjected to post condensation conditions, and to a polyester-containing bottle or film or fibre-containing woven or non-woven object made from melt- processing poly (ethylene-2,5-furandicarboxylate), wherein the poly(ethylene-2,5- furandicarboxylate) is obtainable by the process of the invention. |
