Abstract

Linear polyester are branched by transesterification with resins having repeating or recurring polymer chain units of the formula: ##STR1## wherein m, n and p are each independent integers of 0 or 1; R represents hydrocarbyl; and E represents alkylene containing from 1 to 15 carbon atoms, inclusive, halogen- substituted alkylene of 1 to 15 carbon atoms, inclusive, alkylene of 1 to 15 carbon atoms, inclusive, substituted with a --COOR group where R is as previously defined, or alkylene having 1 to 15 carbon atoms substituted with a monovalent group of the formula: ##STR2## wherein X represents one of hydrogen, hydrocarbyl or ##STR3## wherein R is as defined above; provided there is at least one moiety present, containing an R group.
