Divanillic acid, the dimer of vanillic acid, has been widely used as an aromatic building block of bio-based polymers. In this study, a series of homo- and copolyesters composed of a methylated dialkoxydivanillic acid monomer with an alkoxy side-chain length of 1 or 4 carbon units, cyclohexanedimethanol, and an alkanediol with a chain length of 6, 8, or 12 carbon units was synthesized. The polyesters obtained exhibited high weight-average molecular weights in the range of 4.4 × 10⁴ to 20 × 10⁴ g/mol and degradation temperatures higher than 380 °C. Thermo-pressed films were prepared from all the polyesters. Their glass transition temperature and elongation-at-break values could be tuned from −1 to 120 °C and 3% to 1500%, respectively, by changing the lengths of the alkoxy side chain and the alkanediol as well as the composition of the copolyester.

二香草酸是香草酸的二聚体，已被广泛用作生物基聚合物的芳族结构单元。在本研究中，一系列均聚酯和共聚酯由烷氧基侧链长度为 1 或 4 个碳单元的甲基化二烷氧基二香草酸单体、环己烷二甲醇和链长为 6、8 或 12 个碳单元的烷二醇组成被合成。获得的聚酯表现出在 4.4 × 10 ⁴至 20 × 10 ⁴范围内的高重均分子量g/mol 和降解温度高于 380 °C。热压薄膜由所有聚酯制成。通过改变烷氧基侧链和链烷二醇的长度以及共聚酯的组成，它们的玻璃化转变温度和断裂伸长率值可以分别在 -1 到 120 °C 和 3% 到 1500% 之间进行调整.
