Aromatic copolyesters based on diphenylolpropane and 3,5‐dibromo‐ p ‐hydroxybenzoic acid ( p ‐HBA) were synthesized by an acceptor‐catalyzed polycondensation method. During the synthesis, equimolar mixtures of chloranhydrides of isophthalic and terephthalic acids were used. The effects of p ‐HBA on the tensile and thermal properties of the polyesters were investigated. The breaking stress and modulus of elasticity increased with the amount of p ‐HBA up to 10% in molar mass. A further increase in p ‐HBA caused deterioration of the tensile properties. The elongation at break decreased at low p ‐HBA contents (<5%). The addition of p ‐HBA increased the molecular packing and the limiting oxygen index and improved the thermal behavior of the synthesized polyesters. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
