Abstract: The molecular structure of a water-soluble polyester prepared by copolycondensation of dimethyl terephthalate, isophthalic acid, dimethyl isophathalate-5-sulfonic sodium with ethylene glycol, etc. and its thermal, crystal and rheological properties, as well as polyelectrolyte effect have been investigated by IR, 1H NMR and rheometric techniques. The water soluble polyester is found to be amorphous with glass temperature being 43.0 ℃ and softing point 129.7 ℃. Its melt has a shear thinning feature and shows a polyelectrolyte effect in solvents with high dielectric constant.

Key words: water-soluble polyester, structure characterization, thermal property, crystal property, rheological property, polyelectrolyte effect
