4. Solid-phase postcondensation (PCS or SSP)

4.1 Kinetic aspect

Melt-phase polycondensation does not allow access to very high molecular weights, in particular, as we saw previously 1 , to those required by certain applications (industrial yarns and bottles). Indeed, at these temperatures, close to 270 ˚C, competition between polycondensation reactions and undesirable secondary reactions turns...
