Most of the literature suggest that primary diols have high potential for the chemical industries. What would be the strength and applicability of polymer obtained from diol containing one primary and a secondary alcoholic group?
Dear Alam,
this rule particularly concerns the diols used for production of polyesters exploited in the textile industry. Monomeric units derived from linear-alpha,omega-diols namely allow linear supramolecular arragement of macromolecules and thus formation of crystallites giving to fibres high axial tensile strength. However, if one consider applications in the field of coatings, also polyols with branched chains are useful and used.

Dear Prof. Jiri,
Thank you for your nice explanation and expanding my knowledge. I am curious to know about the possibile properties and applications of alkane diol (with one primary and one secondary alcohol) if it is used in polyurethane and polyamide synthesis. I welcome your comments and recommendations related to this. May I also have some references on such diols in coating and other applications?
