ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a diblock copolymer comprising: (a) a first block of polyester wherein said first block is made from aromatic polyester having: (i) an intrinsic viscosity which is measured in a 60/40 by weight mixture of phenol and tetrachloroethane and is at least about 0.6 deciliter/gram and (ii) a Newtonian melt viscosity which is measured by capillary rheometer and is at least about 7,000 poise at 280.degree. C.; and (b) a second block of polyester wherein said second block is made from lactone monomer. The diblock copolymer is useful in engineered materials, films, and in spinning fibers for industrial applications such as seat belts. A process for making the diblock copolymer uses a twin screw extruder for melting the aromatic polyester and mixing it with monomer.
