US Patent 7169860 Amorphous-crystalline block copolymers

Biodegradable block copolyesters obtained from crystalline blocks and amorphous blocks, wherein the repeating units of both blocks are of the dicarboxylic acid/diol type. Said copolyesters are characterized by a melting temperature equal to or less than 15% lower than the starting crystalline polymer temperature, and by increased tenacity that makes them particularly useful in the production of different types of objects.
