Abstract
The polyester resin is described, which has repeating units derived from a diester component of a dicarboxylic acid; and a diol component. The diester of the aliphatic dicarboxylic acid includes a succinic acid diester, the diol component comprises 50 to 100 mol % of an anhydrosugar alcohol, based on 100 mol % of the total diol component, and the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the polyester resin is 10,000 g/mol or more. A method for preparing a polyester resin comprises (1) esterification or transesterification of a diester component of a dicarboxylic acid comprising a diester of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and a diester of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and a diol component comprising an anhydrosugar alcohol; and (2) polycondensation of the reaction product obtained in step (1). The polyester resin has excellent heat resistance and mechanical properties and also has excellent biodegradability.
