Abstract

A polyetherester block copolymer has hard and soft segments of the structural formula ##STR1## wherein D is the non-hydroxylic residue of a saturated aliphatic or cyclic diol having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, R is the non-carboxylic residue of an aromatic of aliphatic or cyclic dicarboxylic acid wherein the residue has a molecular weight less than about 500, and G is a polyether having recurring oxyalkylene units and a molecular weight between about 300 and 4,000, and the polymer is branched as a result of having been made from monomers that include a primary or secondary amino branching agent.
