Inherent viscosities and number-average molecular weights (M-n) of the poly(arylene ether)s were in the range 0.50 - 0.81 dL g(-1) and 2.2 x 10(4) - 8.3 x 10(4), respectively. Detailed NMR spectroscopic studies of the poly(arylene ether)s indicated the presence of constitutional isomerism which existed because of the non-symmetrical structure of 3-pentadecyl 4,4-biphenol. The poly(arylene ether)s readily dissolved in common organic solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform and tetrahydrofuran and could be cast into tough, transparent and flexible films from their chloroform solutions. The poly(arylene ether)s exhibited T-g values in the range 35-60 degrees C which are lower than that of reference poly(arylene ether)s without pentadecyl chains. The 10% decomposition temperatures (T-10) of the poly(arylene ether)s were in the range 410-455 degrees C indicating their good thermal stability. A gas permeation study of poly(ether sulfone) containing pendent pentadecyl chains revealed a moderate increase in permeability for helium, hydrogen and oxygen. However, there was a large increase in permeability for carbon dioxide which could be attributed to the internal plasticization effect of pendent pentadecyl chains.

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>10aAromatic polyesters10aBulky pendent group10asolubility10athermal stability1 aBapat, Snehalata, P.1 aJadhav, Sushilkumar, A.1 aValsange, Nitin, G.1 aTawade, Bhausaheb, V.1 aHonkhambe, Pandurang, N.1 aChavan, Nayaku, N.1 aWadgaonkar, Prakash, P.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/aromatic-polyesters-containing-pendent-4-phenylsulfonylphenyl-groups-synthesis-and
