Abstract

There is provided a method of preparation for a biodegradable co-polyester, the method including: forming an oligomer through a primary esterification reaction between a hydroxy group of an aliphatic dihydroxy compound and a carboxylic group of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid compound; performing a secondary esterification reaction between the formed oligomer and an aromatic dicarboxylic acid compound; and performing a polycondensation reaction in a vacuum, in which sequentially divided addition of the aromatic dicarboxylic acid compound is performed and the weight ratio of the aromatic dicarboxylic acid compound with respect to the oligomer for each time of the sequentially divided addition is from 2:8 to 5:5. The method efficiently increases a solubility of aromatic dicarboxylic acid, thereby increasing a reaction rate and reducing a side reaction.
