	abstract = {<p>New bis-aldehyde functionalized initiators, viz, 4,4{\textquoteright}-(4,4{\textquoteright}-(5-hydroxypentane-2,2-diyl)bis(4,1-phenylene))bis(oxy)dibenza ldehyde (1) and 4,4{\textquoteright}-bis(4-(4-(formylphenoxy) phenyl) pentyl 2-bromopropanoate (2) were synthesized starting from commercially available 4,4{\textquoteright}-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) pentanoic acid. These initiators were utilized, respectively, for ring opening polymerization of E-caprolactone and atom transfer radical polymerization of styrene. Well-defined polycaprolactone macromonomers (M-n(GPC): 2600-19400, PDI: 1.37-1.47) and polystyrene macromonomers (M-n(GPC): 2800-28200, PDI: 1.11-1.16) with bis-aldehyde functionality were synthesized. The kinetic study of styrene polymerization showed controlled polymerization behaviour. The presence of aldehyde functionality in macromonomers was confirmed by H-1 NMR spectroscopy. The reactivity of aldehyde functionality was demonstrated by carrying out aldehyde-aminooxy click reaction of polycaprolactone macromonomer with O-(2-azidoethyl) hydroxylamine which proceeded in a quantitative manner without backbone degradation.

	abstract = {<p>A new bisphenol, 1,1-bis-[(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-(4-phenylsulfonyl) phenyl)] ethane (DPSBP) was synthesized starting from diphenylsulfide and was characterized by spectroscopic methods. DPSBP was polycondensed with isophthalic acid chloride (IPC), terephthalic acid chloride (TPC) and a mixture of IPC and TPC (50: 50 mol\%) by phase-transfer catalysed interfacial polymerization method to obtain aromatic polyesters containing pendent 4-(phenylsulfonyl)phenyl groups. A series of copolyesters was also obtained by polycondensation of varying molar proportions of DPSBP and bisphenol-A (BPA) with TPC. (Co) polyesters exhibited inherent viscosities in the range 0.56-1.57 dLg(-1) and number average molecular weights (Mn) were in the range 28,650-80,230 g/mol. Polyesters dissolved readily in common organic solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran and aprotic polar solvents such as N-methylpyrrolidone, and N, N-dimethylacetamide. Tough, transparent and flexible films of polyesters could be cast from their chloroform solutions. X-Ray diffraction studies indicated amorphous nature of aromatic polyesters. Polyesters showed T-g values in the range 223-257 degrees C while T-10 values were in the range of 469-484 degrees C indicating their excellent thermal stability.</p>},
