Abstract

A process for preparing a thermoplastic hydroxy-functionalized polyesters comprises contacting a dicarboxylic acid or a mixture of dicarboxylic acids with a diepoxide in the presence of a monofunctional carboxylic acid and a catalyst, and in the absence of a solvent under conditions sufficient to form the hydroxy-functionalized polyesters.
