A new series of partially bio-based (co)poly(ether ether ketone)s bearing pendent furyl groups was synthesized by nucleophilic aromatic substitution polycondensation of varying molar proportions of 4,4 `-(furan-2-ylmethylene)bis(2-methoxyphenol) and bisphenol-A with 4,4 `-difluorobenzophenone. The chemical structures, compositions and random nature of (co)poly(ether ether ketone)s were confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. Inherent viscosities and number-average molecular weights of the (co)poly(ether ether ketone)s were in the range 0.74-2.90 dL g(-1) and 33 500-46 300 g mol(-1), respectively, indicating the formation of reasonably high molecular weight polymers. (Co)poly(ether ether ketone)s were readily soluble in common organic solvents and could be cast into tough, transparent and flexible films from chloroform solutions. (Co)poly(ether ether ketone)s exhibited 10% weight loss and glass transition temperatures in the range 429-464 and 152-156 degrees C, respectively.

A bisphenol monomer bearing pendant propargyloxy group viz, 1, 1-bis (4-hydoxyphenyl)-1-(4 `-propargyloxyphenyl) ethane (BPP) was synthesized starting from commercially available 1, 1, 1-tris (4-hydroxyphenyl) ethane (THPE) by mono O-propargylation reaction using propargyl bromide. A new series of pendant propargyloxy-functionalized aromatic (co)polycarbonates was synthesized by low-temperature solution polycondensation of BPP or different molar ratios of BPP and bisphenol-A with triphosgene in dichloromethane in the presence of triethylamine. The formation of reasonably high molecular weight (co)polycarbonates was confirmed by inherent viscosity (0.52-0.83 dL/g) and gel permeation chromatography (M-n 37,000-69,800 g/mol, polystyrene standards) measurements. C-13 NMR spectral studies supported formation of random copolycarbonates in copolymerization of BPP and BPA with triphosgene. The 10% weight loss temperature (T-10) values of (co)polycarbonates, determined by thermogravimetric analysis under nitrogen atmosphere, were in the range 427-438 degrees C indicating their good thermal stability. The glass transition temperature (T-g) values of (co)polycarbonates were observed in the range 147-152 degrees C. The crosslinking ability of (co)polycarbonates involving pendant propargyloxy groups leading to formation of networked structure was evaluated via non-isothermal curing studies by DSC. As a proof-of-concept, the post-modification of a representative polycarbonate bearing pendant propargyloxy groups with 1-octane thiol as a model compound via thiol-yne click reaction was briefly studied.

A new bisphenol possessing pendant norbornenyl group viz., 4, 4 `-(bicyclo (2.2.1) hept-5-en-2 yl methylene) bis (2-methoxyphenol) (BPA-NB) was synthesized by a single-step base-catalyzed condensation reaction of 5-norbor-nene-2-carboxaldehyde with guaiacol. NMR spectral data indicated formation of BPA-NB comprising of isomeric components. A series of (co)poly(ether sulfone)s possessing pendant norbornenyl groups was synthesized by nucleophilic aromatic substitution polycondensation of varying molar ratio of BPA-NB and bisphenol-A (BPA) with bis(4-fluorophenyl) sulfone. Inherent viscosity values and number average molecular weights of (co)poly (ether sulfone)s were in the range 0.67-1.01 dL/g and 75,400-1,16,300 g/mol, respectively indicating the formation of reasonably high molecular weight polymers. Tough, transparent, and flexible films could be cast from chloroform solutions of these (co)poly(ether sulfone)s. (Co)poly(ether sulfone)s were characterized using FT-IR, H-1 NMR and C-13 NMR spectroscopy, XRD, TGA and DSC analysis. The formation of random copoly(ether sulfone)s was demonstrated by( 13)C NMR analysis. The incorporation of BPA-NB into (co)poly(ether sulfone)s resulted into improvement in Tg values. BPA-NB-based (co)poly(ether sulfone)s offered possibilities for post -modifications involving either methoxyl or norbornenyl groups. A representative copoly(ether sulfone) (PSU-NB-2) possessing pendant norbornenyl groups was chemically modified via thiol-ene reaction with three representative thiol compounds, namely, 1-dodecanethiol, 2-furanmethanethiol and 2-mercaptoethanol to yield corresponding post-modified polymers in a quantitative manner. Additionally, it was demonstrated that copoly (ether sulfone) possessing pendant norbornenyl groups could be used to form insoluble cross-linked gel in the presence of a multifunctional thiol cross-linker.

Independently, (co)polycarbonates bearing pendant azido groups were exposed to UV irradiation at wavelength of 254 nm and decomposition reaction of azido groups was monitored by FT-IR spectroscopy. The complete decomposition of azido groups was observed with exposure time of 30 min. The formed cross-linked (co)polycarbonates exhibited improved % char yield values compared to parent (co)polycarbonates.
