A series of new (co) polyazomethines containing pendant pentadecyl chains and flexibilizing ether linkages was synthesized by polycondensation of 4-(4'-aminophenoxy)-2-pentadecyl benzenamine with commercially available aromatic dialdehydes viz., terephthaldehyde (TPA), isophthaldehyde (IPA) and varying mixture of TPA and IPA. Inherent viscosities and number average molecular weights of (co) polyazomethines were in the range 0.50-0.70 dL/g and 10,490-40-800 (GPC, polystyrene standard), respectively indicating formation of medium to reasonably high molecular weight polymers. (Co) polyazomethines containing pendant pentadecyl chains were found to be soluble in common organic solvents such as chloroform, dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, pyridine, m-cresol and could be cast into transparent and stretchable films from their solution in chloroform. (Co) polyazomethines were essentially amorphous in nature and the formation of loosely-developed layered structure was observed arising from the packing of pendant pentadecyl chains. Polyazomethines exhibited glass transition temperatures (T(g)) in the range 21-48 degrees C. The observed depression of glass transition temperature could be ascribed to the ``internal plasticization'' effect of pentadecyl chains. The temperature at 10% wt loss (T(10)), determined from TGA in nitrogen atmosphere of polyazomethines were in the range 434-441 degrees C indicating their good thermal stability.

Atom transfer radical polymerization of styrene in bulk and that of methyl methacrylate in anisole using CuBr/N,N,N',N',N `'-pentamethyldiethyl-enetriamine system was carried out. The kinetic study of styrene polymerization showed controlled polymerization behavior. Bis-allyloxy functionalized well-defined polystyrene (M(n)(GPC): 13,600-28,250, PDI: 1.07-1.09) and poly (methyl methacrylate) (M(n)(GPC): 10,100-18,450, PDI: 1.23-1.34) macromonomers were obtained. The presence of allyloxy functionality was confirmed by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The reactivity of allyloxy functionality was demonstrated by carrying out organic reactions such as addition of bromine and hydrosilylation on polystyrene macromonomer. Polystyrene macromonomer with bis-allyloxy functionality was transformed into bis-epoxy functionalized polystyrene macromonomer using 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
