Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Macromolecular compounds obtained by reactions forming a carboxylic ester link in the main chain of the macromolecule > Polyesters derived from hydroxy carboxylic acids or from polycarboxylic acids and polyhydroxy compounds > derived from polycarboxylic acids and polyhydroxy compounds > Polycarboxylic acids or polyhydroxy compounds in which at least one of the two components contains aliphatic unsaturation > Polyesters derived from ester-forming derivatives of polycarboxylic acids or of polyhydroxy compounds, other than from esters thereof > Cyclic ethers; Cyclic carbonates; Cyclic sulfites

CPC:
