Copolyesters were synthesized by utilizing different molar proportions of BBHPE and 4,4-isopropylidenediphenol (BPA) with IPC and TPC. The inherent viscosities of polyesters were in the range 0.44-1.26 dL/g. All the polyesters were soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, meta-cresol, pyridine, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidmone. Tough, transparent, and flexible films could be cast from chloroform solutions of these polyesters. WAXD measurements indicated that all the polyesters and copolyesters were amorphous in nature. Glass transition temperature of polyesters were in the range 198-256 degrees C, while the initial degradation temperature of polyesters were in the range 444-481 degrees C. Copolyesters derived from BBHPE exhibited improved solubility and higher glass transition temperatures compared to the corresponding polyesters based on BPA.

The direct polycondensation of newly synthesized DIDA with different diamines was carried Out via Yamazaki's phosphorylation method using triphenyl phosphite and pyridine system. The resulting poly(amide-imide)s were obtained in quantitative yields with inherent viscosities 0.36-0.47 dl/g in DMAc at 30 +/- 0.1 degrees C. The poly(amide-imide)s were amorphous and were readily soluble in various solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP), NN-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), and pyridine. Tough and flexible films were obtained by casting their DMAc solution. According to thermogravimetric analysis, the polymers were fairly stable up to temperature around 396 degrees C, and 10% weight losses in the temperature range of 476-511 degrees C that showed good thermal stabilities of these polymers.

Selective and quantitative extraction of thallium(III) by 2-octylaminopyridine (2-OAP) in chloroform occurred from aqueous sodium succinate medium (0.0075 M) at pH 3.0. Thallium(III) was back extracted with acetate buffer (pH 4.63). The effect of the concentration of succinate and 2-OAP, the role of various diluents, stripping agents, loading capacity of 2-OAP, equilibrium time and aqueous:organic volume ratio on the extraction of thallium(III) was studied. The stoichiometry of the extracted species was determined based on the slope analysis method and found to be 1: 2: 1 (metal: acid: extractant). The temperature dependence of the extraction equilibrium constant was also examined to estimate the apparent thermodynamic functions Delta H, Delta G and Delta S for the extraction reaction. The method is free from interference of a large number of cations and anions. The method was used for the selective extraction of thallium(III) from its binary mixture with Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), Bi(ill), Pb(II), Se(IV), Te(IV), Sb(III), Ga(III), In(III), AI(III), TI(I) and Fe(III). The proposed method was applied to the synthetic mixtures and alloys.

The synthesis, characterization and self-assembling properties of these new associating polymers are reported. In aqueous solution, PDC modified PEOs self-associate into micellar structures which are characterized by neutron scattering. Using a star-polymer model with sticky hard sphere interactions, it is shown that the characteristics of the micelles mainly depend on the size of the PEO chain. In the case of PDC stickers, the aggregation number decreases from 25 to 17 with increasing molecular weight of PEO, from 10 to 20 kg/mol, respectively. The temperature directly impacts the interaction potential between the hydrophilic coronas of PEO which become less repulsive with increasing temperature. Rheological measurements, performed in dilute solution, clearly demonstrate that PEO micelles self-associate into open supramolecular structures. The correlation length of these loose clusters increases with polymer concentration and the hierarchical self-assembly follows the rules of the percolation theory. The sol/gel transition takes place at the overlap concentration of clusters. In semi-dilute solution, the viscoelastic properties of PDC end-capped PEOs are well described by the Maxwell model with a single relaxation mode. The characteristic time of the network follows an Arrhenius temperature dependence with an activation energy of 70 kJ/mol, in very good agreement with the size of PDC stickers. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

X-ray diffractograms revealed that the polyimides with longer alkoxy chains had layered structures. The glass-transition temperature of the polyimides containing pendent flexible alkoxy chains were in the range 159-246 degrees C as measured by differential scanning calorimetry. The temperature for the 10% weight loss of the polyimides was in the range 410-460 degrees C in a nitrogen atmosphere, which indicated good thermal stability. A pretilt angle of 2.97 degrees was observed for the polyimide derived from 5-octyloxy-1,, 3-phenylenediisocyanate and 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride. (c) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The initial decomposition temperature, determined by TGA in nitrogen atmosphere, of polyamides was in the range 371-410 degrees C indicating their good thermal stability. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

The concentration of 1,3-propane sultone was kept constant at 10 mol %. and that of MGC(8) (2, 3, and 4 mol %)/MGC(12) (2 and 3 mol %) was varied to obtain HMPVAs with different hydrophobic contents. The incorporation of MGC(8)/MGC(12) and 1,3-propane sultone onto HMPVA was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. Rheological properties of aqueous solutions also confirmed the presence of hydrophobic and charged functional groups on HMPVAs. In the semidilute regime, the specific viscosity of HMPVAs followed concentration scaling that is typical of polyelectrolytes. At higher concentrations, the HMPVA solutions with 3 and 4 mol % of MGC(8) exhibited large increase in specific viscosity. Oscillatory experiments on these solutions exhibited gel-like behavior at polymer concentrations of 40-50 g/L. Confocal microscopy images of HMPVA with 4 mol % of MGC(8) clearly indicated the existence of microgels. The tendency of formation of microgels further increased with increasing chain length of the hydrophobe, that is, with MGC(12). These samples exhibited rheological behavior that is typical of soft solids and was therefore probed by the strain-rate frequency superposition technique reported recently in the literature. HMPVAs with improved rheological properties show potential applications as thickeners in cosmetic creams, lotions and as drug carriers in pharmaceutical formulations. (C) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The extraction of gallium(III) from 6.0-9.0 mol dm(-3) hydrochloric acid was found to be quantitative using 0.033 mol dm-3 2-OAP in chloroform. The effect of the reagent concentration and other parameters on the extraction of gallium(111) was also studied. The stoichiometry of the extracted species of gallium(In) was determined based on the slope analysis method. The extraction reaction proceeded via the anion exchange mechanism from hydrochloric acid and the extracted species was [RR'NH(2)(+)GaCl(4)(-)](org). The extraction of gallium(III) was performed in the presence of various ions to ascertain the tolerance limit to individual ions. The temperature dependence of the extraction equilibrium constants was examined to estimate the apparent thermodynamic functions (Delta H, Delta S and Delta G) for the extraction reaction. Gallium(III) was successfully separated from commonly associated metal ions, such as Zn(II), Pb(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), Bi(III), Al(III), Se(IV), Sb(III), Sn(IV), In(III), TI(I) and TI(III). However, gallium(III) was separated from Fe(III) from weak organic acid media. The procedure was also extended to the determination of gallium(III) in bauxite ore by the standard addition method.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;0.725&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Palaskar, Dnyaneshwar V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sane, Prakash S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wadgaonkar, Prakash P.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">New ATRP initiator for synthesis of cyclic carbonate-terminated poly(methyl methacrylate)</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reactive &amp; Functional Polymers</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cyclic carbonate</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">functional polymers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">poly(methyl methacrylate)</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DEC</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">70</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">931-937</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;A new ATRP initiator, viz, 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl-(methyl-2-bromo-2-methylpropanoate) (ODMBMP) was synthesized by the reaction of commercially available glycerol carbonate with 2-bromoisobutyrylbromide and was used to carry out ATRP reactions of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in the presence of copper chloride/N,N',N',N''N''-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine to afford low molecular weight (M(n)(GPC) = 1750-7550) cyclic carbonate-terminated poly(methyl methacrylate)s with relatively narrow molecular weight distribution (M(w)/M(n) = 1.16-1.30).

The presence of cyclic carbonate functionality in poly(methyl methacrylate)s was confirmed by FUR. (1)H NMR, and (13)C NMR spectroscopy.

A series of new poly(amideimide)s containing flexibilizing ether linkages and pendant pentadecyl chains was synthesized from 4-[4'-(hydrazinocarbonyl)phenoxy]-2-pentade-cylbenzohydrazide and commercially available aromatic dianhydrides, viz., benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylic dianhydride, 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride, benzophenone-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylic dianhydride, 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride and 4,4'-(hexafluoro isopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride by a two-step solution polycondensation in N,N-dimethylacetamide via the poly(hydrazide acid) intermediate.

The temperature at 10% weight loss (T(10)), determined by TGA in nitrogen atmosphere, of poly(amideimide)s was in the range of 388-410 degrees C indicating their good thermal stability. Glass transition temperatures of poly(amideimide)s were in the range 162-198 degrees C.

A series of new aromatic polyamides containing ether linkages and pendant pentadecyl chains was prepared by phosphorylation polycondensation of 4-(4'-carboxyphenoxy)-2-pentadecylbenzoic acid with five commercially available aromatic diamines viz., 1,4-phenylenediamine, 4,4'-oxydianiline, 4,4'-methylenedianiline, 1,3-phenylenediamine, and 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)dianiline. Inherent viscosities of the polyamides were in the range 0.45-0.66 dL/g in N,N-dimethylacetamide at 30 +/- 0.1 degrees C. The introduction of ether linkages and pendant pentadecyl chains into polyamides led to an enhanced solubility in N,N-dimethylacetamide and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone at room temperature or upon heating. The polyamides could be solution-cast into tough, flexible and transparent films from their N,N-dimethylacetamide solution. Wide angle X-ray diffraction patterns exhibited broad halo indicating that the polymers were essentially amorphous in nature. X-Ray diffractograms also displayed a diffuse to sharp reflection in the small-angle region (20 = similar to 2-5 degrees) for the polyamides characteristics of formation of loosely to well-developed layered structure arising from packing of flexible pentadecyl chains. The glass transition temperature observed for the polyamides was in range 139-189 degrees C. The temperature at 10% weight loss (T(10)), determined by TGA in nitrogen atmosphere, of the polyamides was in the range 425-453 degrees C indicating their good thermal stability.

However, most aromatic polyesters are difficult to process due to their high glass transition temperatures coupled with their insolubility in common organic solvents. The present article describes a series of organosoluble polyesters and copolyesters based on 1,1,1-[bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4'-pentadecylphenyl]ethane. A series of new aromatic polyesters containing pendant pentadecyl chains was synthesized by interfacial polycondensation of 1,1,1-[bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4'-pentadecylphenyl]ethane with terephthalic acid chloride (TPC), isophthalic acid chloride (IPC) and a mixture of TPC and IPC. A series of copolyesters was synthesized from 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol with TPC by incorporating 1,1,1-[bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4'-pentadecylphenyl]ethane as a comonomer. Inherent viscosities of the polyesters and copolyesters were in the range 0.72-1.65 dL g(-1) and number-average molecular weights were in the range 18 170-87 220. The polyesters and copolyesters containing pendant pentadecyl chains dissolved readily in organic solvents such as chloroform, dichloromethane, pyridine and m-cresol and could be cast into transparent, flexible and apparently tough films. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction data revealed the amorphous nature of the polyesters and copolyesters. The formation of loosely developed layered structure was observed due to the packing of pendant pentadecyl chains. The temperature at 10% weight loss, determined using thermogravimetric analysis in nitrogen atmosphere, of the polyesters and copolyesters containing pendant pentadecyl chains was in the range 400-460 degrees C. The polyesters and copolyesters exhibited glass transition temperatures in the range 63-82 degrees C and 177-183 degrees C, respectively.

Five new polyamides were synthesized by polycondensation of various aliphatic diacid / aromatic diacids namely, azelaic acid, bis(4-carboxyphenyl)dimethylsilane, 4,4'-oxybis(benzoicacid), isophthalic acid and terephthalic acid with APQ by Yamazaki's phosphorylation method using triphenyl phosphite as condensing agent. The polyamides were characterized by IR spectroscopy, solubility tests, inherent viscosity, X-ray diffraction technique, differential scanning colorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The polyamides had inherent viscosities in the range 0.39-0.45 dL/g in N, N-dimethylacetamide at 30 +/- 0.1 A degrees C. The polyamides were soluble in polar aprotic solvents such as N, N-dimethylacetamide, N, N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone. X-Ray diffraction studies showed that polyamides were amorphous in nature. The polyamides showed glass transition temperatures in the range 104-205 A degrees C, according to differential scanning calorimetry. Thermogravimetric analysis exhibited initial decomposition temperatures above 348 A degrees C; indicating that these polyamides possessed excellent thermal stability.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.77</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Honkhambe, Pandurang N.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pasale, Sharad K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhairamadgi, Nagendra S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kumbhar, Kishor P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salunkhe, Manikrao M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wadgaonkar, Prakash P.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poly(ether ether ketone)s and poly(ether ether ketone ketone)s containing cardo decahydronaphthalene groups: synthesis and characterization</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Applied Polymer Science</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">bisphenol</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cardo decahydronaphthalene</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">poly(ether ether ketone ketone)s</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">poly(ether ether ketone)s</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polycondensation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thermal properties</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NOV</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WILEY-BLACKWELL</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">COMMERCE PLACE, 350 MAIN ST, MALDEN 02148, MA USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">122</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1607-1613</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;New poly(ether ether ketone)s and poly (ether ether ketone ketone) s were synthesized by polycondensation of each of the three bisphenols, viz., 4,4'-(octahydro-2(1H)-naphthylidene) bisphenol, 4,4'-(octa-hydro-2(1H)-naphthylidene) bis-3-methylphenol, and 4,4'(octahydro-2(1H)-naphthylidene) bis-3,5-dimethylphenol with 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone and 1,3-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl) benzene in a mixture of N,N-dimethylacetamide and toluene [1 : 1 (v/v)] in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate.

Inherent viscosities of polyamides and polyazomethines were in the range 0.35-0.56 dL g(-1) and 0.33-0.38 dL g(-1), respectively, indicating the formation of medium molecular weight polymers. The presence of pendent pentadecyl chains in polyamides and polyazomethines led to an improvement in their solubility in organic solvents. Polyamides could be cast into flexible, transparent and tough films from their solution in N,N-dimethylacetamide while polyazomethines could be solution cast into transparent, flexible and stretchable films from their CHCl(3) solution. (1)H-NMR studies based on amide proton signals and azomethine proton signals indicated the presence of constitutional isomerism in the polyamides and polyazomethines. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction patterns exhibited broad halo indicating that the polymers were amorphous in nature. X-ray diffractograms also displayed sharp reflections in the small angle region (2 theta approximate to 3 degrees) indicating the formation of layered structure arising from packing of flexible pentadecyl chains. The glass transition (T(g)) temperatures of polyamides were in the range 169-215 degrees C while T(g) values for polyazomethines were in the range 16-55 degrees C. The temperature for the 10% weight loss of polyamides and polyazomethines were in the range 430-460 degrees C and 425-440 degrees C, respectively, in a nitrogen atmosphere, which indicated their good thermal stability. Polyazomethines were also characterized by UV-Vis and photoluminescence spectroscopy and optical band gap (E(g)) values, calculated according to the maximum of the UV absorption, were found to be in the range 2.82-3.10 eV.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.884

Wide angle X-ray diffraction patterns exhibited a broad halo at around 2 theta = similar to 19 degrees indicating that the polymers containing pentadecyl chains were amorphous in nature. In the small-angle region, diffuse reflections of a typically layered structures resulting from the packing of pentadecyl side chains were observed. The temperature at 10% weight loss, obtained from TG curves, for poly(ether ether ketone) s and poly(ether ether ketone ketone) s were in the range 416-459 degrees C, indicating their good thermal stability. A substantial drop in glass transition temperatures (68-78 degrees C) was observed for poly(ether ether ketone) s and poly(ether ether ketone ketone) s due to ``internal plasticization'' effect of flexible pendant pentadecyl chains.

The order of thermal stability of cured polycyanurates was found to be 2,2-bis(4-cyanatophenyl) propane &amp;gt; 1,1-bis(4-cyanatophenyl) cyclohexane &amp;gt; 1,1-bis(4-cyanato phenyl) 3-pentadecylcyclohexane. The moisture absorption of cured resins derived from 1,1-bis(4-cyanatophenyl) 3-pentadecyl cyclohexane and 1,1-bis(4-cynatophenyl) cyclohexane was found to be lower than that of 2,2-bis(4-cynatophenyl) propane implying the role of pentadecyl substituent and/or cyclohexyl moiety in imparting hydrophobicity to the polycyanurates.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.09

Inherent viscosities of PEIs were in the range 0.54-0.83dLg(-1) in chloroform (CHCl3) at 30 +/- 0.1 degrees C. PEIs containing pendent pentadecyl chains were soluble in organic solvents such as CHCl3, m-cresol, N, N-dimethylacetamide, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, pyridine, and nitrobenzene. Tough, transparent, and flexible films of PEIs could be cast from their CHCl3 solutions. PEIs exhibited glass transition temperature in the range 145-198 degrees C.

The solution properties of HMPAMs were studied in dilute aqueous solution by fluorescence spectroscopy, NMR and viscometry. The properties in aqueous solution of HMPAMs clearly displayed the formation of hydrophobic interactions between alkyl stickers. While dodecyl containing HMPAMs mainly showed a progressive collapse of the copolymer coil with the increasing fraction of hydrophobic moieties (weak intra-chain associations), pentadecylcyclohexyl groups containing HMPAMs exhibited a much lower solubility in water due to strong intra- and inter-chain associations. Experimental data were analyzed using the mean field theory developed by Semenov and Rubinstein (SR) for associating polymers. Using a set of realistic parameters, taking into account the solubility of the backbone, the fraction of stickers and the strength of hydrophobic attractions, we show that the SR model offers a quantitative description of the thermodynamic properties of HMPAMs in terms of individual and collective behavior of polymers chains; i.e. swelling and phase separation, respectively.

They are, or they will be, protagonists in biomedical applications where miniaturized activities are required. These include the interface with living systems as tissues and cells, where targeted release of drug molecules occurs, or molecular imaging methods monitoring the drug trafficking in specific cell districts. The potentials of such devices, far to be fully understood, will be assessed only when a close correlation of their functions with their structure will be established. In this contribution we present a dextran based microdevice responsive to temperature and biodegradable.

These functionalized PILs were synthesized via post modification of thermo-chemically and mechanically stable polybenzimidazole (PBI). Formed PILs were evaluated for their ability to detect NACs through quenching of fluorescence intensity. Quenching of fluorescence intensity in solution state for NACs, such as nitrobenzene (NB), 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and picric acid (PA), was found to be rapid in both the PILs possessing pyrene and anthracene. The solution-phase Stern-Volmer quenching constants for PA were higher than for other NACs. After these promising results, self-standing films (similar to 12 mm thick) were also evaluated for fluorescence quenching by NACs as well as possible interferents of different nature. These films also exhibited rapid and selective fluorescence quenching when exposed to the saturated vapors of NACs at ambient temperature and pressure. Fluorescence emission of PIL films was affected little by the presence of commonly found interferents. Furthermore, fluorescence intensity could be recovered after the quenching, enabling the reuse of these PIL films for detection of NACs. Smart performance of these films and ease of preparation qualify them as attractive candidates in developing sensor devices for sensitive NACs detection in presence of possible interferents.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">34</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7.443</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Voirin, Coline</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caillol, Sylvain</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sadavarte, Nilakshi V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tawade, Bhausaheb V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boutevin, Bernard</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wadgaonkar, Prakash P.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Functionalization of cardanol: towards biobased polymers and additives</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymer Chemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OCT</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THOMAS GRAHAM HOUSE, SCIENCE PARK, MILTON RD, CAMBRIDGE CB4 0WF, CAMBS, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3142-3162</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Among the renewable resource materials, cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) is considered as an important starting material due to its unique structural features, abundant availability and low cost.

A systematic structural variation and different alkyl chain lengths lead to three series of closely related mesogenic polythiophenes viz.; TPn, TNn and TVn. Polarized light emitting diodes fabricated from TV12 by solution processing with the configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/Polymer/Al show linearly polarized electroluminescence with a dichroic ratio of 14.32. Spun thin films of TV12 elicited a dichroic ratio of 15.02 in photoluminescence. Studies using a range of techniques such as; atomic force microscopy, grazing incidence X-ray diffraction, fluorescence anisotropy, linear dichroism, fluorescence lifetime and dynamic light scattering reveal that the presence of highly ordered self-assembly was responsible for the dimensional confinement of optoelectronic properties. The ordering in the thin films originates from vinyl groups in the side chains of the TV12 polymer. Further studies on device characteristics show higher charge carrier mobility in polymers with vinyl side chains. Solution processed PLEDs show a maximum brightness of 863 cd m(-2) for the TP12 polymer and TV12 based LEDs show a maximum brightness of 524 cd m(-2).&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">43</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.493</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kulkarni, Aparna M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Desai, Uday V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pandit, Kapil S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kulkarni, Makarand A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wadgaonkar, Prakash P.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nickel ferrite nanoparticles-hydrogen peroxide: a green catalyst-oxidant combination in chemoselective oxidation of thiols to disulfides and sulfides to sulfoxides</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RSC Advances</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JUL</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">69</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THOMAS GRAHAM HOUSE, SCIENCE PARK, MILTON RD, CAMBRIDGE CB4 0WF, CAMBS, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">36702-36707</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Nickel ferrite nanoparticles-hydrogen peroxide has been demonstrated for the first time as a green and efficient catalyst-oxidant combination in the chemoselective oxidation of thiols to disulfides and sulfides to sulfoxides.

The resultant (co) polyesters exhibited inherent viscosities in the range 0.70-1.21 dL g(-1) and number-average molecular weights in the range 16,000-48,200 (GPC, polystyrene standard). Polyesters were soluble in common organic solvents such as chloroform and dichloromethane and could be cast into films from chloroform solution. Polyesters exhibited T-10 values in the range 430-455 degrees C and Tg values were in the range 29-202 degrees C. Dynamic mechanical storage modulus and maximum on transition of tan delta curve decreased with increased content of HPPDP in copolyesters. Importantly, the large difference between Tg and T-10 values offers the possibility to process these polyesters in the melt.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.85</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salunke, Jagadish K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sonar, Prashant</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wong, F.

Well- defined bis-allyloxy functionalized polystyrene macromonomers (M-n,M-GPC 4800-11 700gmol(-1)) with controlled molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution (1.05-1.09) were synthesized using ATRP by varying the monomer to initiator feed ratio. The presence of allyloxy functionality on polystyrene was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared and H-1 NMR spectroscopy. A kinetic study of polymerization revealed pseudo-first-order kinetics with respect to monomer consumption. Initiator efficiency was found to be in the range 0.80-0.95. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight spectra showed a narrow molecular weight distribution with control over the molecular weight. The reactivity of the allyloxy groups on polystyrene was successfully demonstrated by quantitative photochemical thiol-ene click reaction with benzyl mercaptan as the model thiol reagent. Furthermore, the thiol-ene click reaction was exploited to introduce other reactive functional groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl by reaction of ,-bis-allyloxy functionalized polystyrene with 2-mercaptoethanol and 3-mercaptopropionic acid, respectively.

Present work aims at investigating effects substitution asymmetry on imidazole moiety of two structurally different polybenzimidazoles (PBI-BuI and PBI-HFA) on physical, gas sorption and transport properties of the resulting film forming PILs possessing symmetric substitution, while keeping one of the N-substituent as methyl group. PILs were obtained with high degree of substitution. The halide anion of these PILs was exchanged with BF4-, Tf-2(N) over bar and HF (B) over bar anions. Effects of substituents, cationic backbone and type of anions on gas permeation properties of PILs using pure gases (He, H-2, N-2 and CO2) were examined at 20 atm upstream pressure and correlated with their physical properties. Combination of typical ionic liquid character (effective towards enhancing CO2 sorption) and looser chain packing (ease in gas diffusion) offered improved CO2 permeation characteristics. As an outcome, some of the PILs exhibited higher CO2 permeation than that of hydrogen, typically known as `reverse selectivity'. These asymmetrically substituted PILs enhanced not only the gas permeability, but also selectivity than their symmetrically substituted counterparts. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

The grafting was performed by coupling reaction between-NH2 groups of PEPO and -COOH groups of CMG and CMT using water-soluble EDC/NHS as coupling agents. The grafting efficiency and the temperature of thermo-association, T-assoc in the copolymer were studied by NMR spectroscopy. The graft copolymers, CMG-g-PEPO and CMT-g-PEPO exhibited interesting thermo-associating behavior which was evidenced by the detailed rheological and fluorescence measurements. The visco-elastic properties (storage modulus, G'; loss modulus, G'') of the copolymer solutions were investigated using oscillatory shear experiments. The influence of salt and surfactant on the T-assoc was also studied by rheology, where the phenomenon of ``Salting out'' and ``Salting in'' was observed for salt and surfactant, respectively, which can give an easy access to tunable properties of these copolymers. These thermo-associating polymers with biodegradable nature of CMG and CMT can have potential applications as smart injectables in controlled release technology and as thickeners in cosmetics and pharmaceutical formulations.

Three new polyetherimides containing multiple ether linkages and pendent pentadecyl chains were synthesized by one-step high-temperature solution polycondensation of APPPA in m-cresol with three aromatic dianhydrides, i.e. 3,3,4,4-oxydiphthalic anhydride, 4,4-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride and 3,3,4,4-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride. Inherent viscosities and number-average molecular weights of the polyetherimides were in the ranges 0.66-0.70 dLg(-1) and 17100-29700gmol(-1) (gel permeation chromatography, polystyrene standards), respectively, indicating the formation of reasonably high molecular weight polymers. The polyetherimides were soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform, dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, pyridine, m-cresol, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone and dimethylsulfoxide, and could be cast into transparent, flexible and tough films from their solutions in chloroform. The polyetherimides exhibited glass transition temperatures (T-g) in the range 113-131 degrees C. The lowering of T-g could be attributed to the combined influence of flexibilizing ether linkages and pentadecyl chains which act as packing-disruptive' groups. The temperature at 10% weight loss (T-10), determined from thermogravimetric analysis in nitrogen atmosphere, was in the range 460-470 degrees C demonstrating good thermal stability. The virtues of solubility and large gap between T-g and T-10 mean that the polyetherimides containing pendent pentadecyl chains have possibilities for both solution as well as melt processability.

and (3-allyl-2-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)phenyl)methanol each containing two reactive functionalities viz. allyl, allyloxy and allyl, propargyloxy, respectively, were synthesized from 3-allylsalicyaldehyde as a starting material. Well defined -allyl, -allyloxy and -allyl, -propargyloxy bifunctionalized poly(epsilon-caprolactone)s with molecular weights in the range 4200-9500 and 3600-10,900 g/mol and molecular weight distributions in the range 1.16-1.18 and 1.15-1.16, respectively, were synthesized by ROP of epsilon-caprolactone employing these initiators. The presence of -allyl, -allyloxy and -allyl, -propargyloxy functionalities on poly(epsilon-caprolactone)s was confirmed by FT-IR, H-1, C-13 NMR spectroscopy, and MALDI-TOF analysis. The kinetic study of ROP of epsilon-caprolactone with both the initiators revealed the pseudo first order kinetics with respect to epsilon-caprolactone consumption and controlled behavior of polymerization reactions. The usefulness of -allyl, -allyloxy functionalities on poly(epsilon-caprolactone) was demonstrated by performing the thiol-ene reaction with poly(ethylene glycol) thiol to obtain (mPEG)(2)-PCL miktoarm star copolymer. -Allyl, -propargyloxy functionalities on poly(epsilon-caprolactone) were utilized in orthogonal reactions i.e copper catalyzed alkyne-azide click (CuAAC) with azido functionalized poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) followed by thiol-ene reaction with poly(ethylene glycol) thiol to synthesize PCL-PNIPAAm-mPEG miktoarm star terpolymer. The preliminary characterization of A(2)B and ABC miktoarm star copolymers was carried out by H-1 NMR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). (c) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

The present work is aimed at investigating the effects of incorporation of rigid polyaromatic hydrocarbons, viz., pyrene and anthracene, in polybenzimidazole-based PILs. The effects of substituent and anion variation on the gas permeation properties of PILs using pure gases were examined at 20 atm upstream pressure. The results were correlated with physical properties of PILs. The pyrene substituted PIL exhibited similar to 10 fold increase in CO2 permeability as compared to its precursor polymer PBI-BuI. The combination of a CO2 specific anion and bulky group substitution offered higher CO2 permeability as well as appreciable permselectivity than their structural analogue that was devoid of IL functionality. The permeation properties of present PILs were superior to those of conventional glassy polymers such as polysulfone, matrimid and polycarbonate which are widely studied for their gas permeation properties.

The investigated polymers share the same conjugated structure, but differ in the anchoring positions of solubilising linear octyloxy/branched 2-ethylhexyloxy side-chains. UV-vis spectra of the polymers in dilute chloroform solutions and as thin films were studied. X-Ray diffraction patterns as well as the bulk charge transport of polymer films cast from chlorobenzene solutions were also investigated. A dramatic effect of the solubilising side-chains on the charge carrier mobility of BTE-PV films was observed, with bulk hole mobility values ranging between 1.3 x 10(-5) cm(2) V-1 s(-1) and 2.2 x 10(-2) cm(2) V-1 s(-1), which is not ascribable to evident structural variations of the polymer films. It is shown that the combination of linear octyloxy and branched 2-ethylhexyloxy side-chains is favorable for the charge transport properties of BTE-PVs, compared to the incorporation of only linear or only branched side-chains.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">57</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.289</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salunke, Jagadish K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wong, F.

In the present work, 1,3,6,8-tetrabromo pyrene was transformed into the corresponding tetrasubstituted carbazole and phenothiazine derivatives using the classical Suzuki coupling reaction. These newly synthesized materials with a carbazole substituent (PY-CA) and a phenothiazine substituent (PY-PH) were characterised thoroughly and were successfully used as an active light-emitting layer in organic light emitting diodes which resulted in blue and green emission with promising device performance. PY-CA exhibited the maximum brightness at around 2500 cd m(-2) and the power efficiency of 1.5 lm W-1 while that of PY-PH exhibited 2116 cd m(-2) and 0.45 lm W-1 respectively.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5.066</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pandit, Kapil S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kupwade, Ravindra V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chavan, Pramod V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Desai, Uday V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wadgaonkar, Prakash P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kodam, Kisan M.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problem solving and environmentally benign approach toward diversity oriented synthesis of novel 2-amino-3-phenyl (or Alkyl) sulfonyl-4H-chromenes at ambient temperature</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACS Sustainable Chemistry &amp; Engineering</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2-Amino-3-methylsulfonyl-4H-chromenes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2-Amino-3-phenylsulfonyl-4H-chromenes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">diethylamine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">green chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Multicomponent synthesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">organocatalyst</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JUN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AMER CHEMICAL SOC</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1155 16TH ST, NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20036 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3450-3464</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;A problem solving, environmentally benign, and diversity oriented protocol has been described for multi component synthesis of medicinally privileged 2-amino-3-phenyl (or methyl) sulfonyl-4H-chromenes by one-pot, three component condensation among aldehydes, phenyl (or methyl) sulphonyl acetonitrile, and alpha-naphthol, 3-dimethylamino phenol, 4-hydroxy-N-methyl-quinoline-2-one as well as 4-hydroxycarbazole, using diethylamine as an efficient organo catalyst.

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.

Well-defined bisfuryl-terminated poly(lauryl methacrylate) macromonomers with molecular weight and dispersity in the range 5000-12,000 g mol(-1) and 1.30-1.37, respectively, were synthesized employing the initiator by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Independently, 1,1',1&quot;(nitrilotris(ethane-2,1-diyl)) tris(1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione) was synthesized as a tris-maleimide counterpart for furan-maleimide click reaction. Thermo-reversible network polymer bearing flexible poly(lauryl methacrylate; (PLMA) chains was obtained by furan-maleimide Diels-Alder click reaction of bisfurylterminated PLMA with 1,1',1&quot;-(nitrilotris(ethane-2,1-diyl)) tris(1Hpyrrole-2,5-dione). The prepared network polymer showed retro-Diels-Alder reaction in the temperature range 110-170 degrees C as determined from DSC analysis. The presence of low Tg (-40 degrees C) PLMA chains induced chain mobility to the network structure which led to the complete scratch healing of the coating at 60 degrees C in five days due to furan-maleimide adduct formation. The storage modulus of the network polymer was found to be 3.7 x 10(4) Pa at the constant angular frequency of 5 rad/ sec and strain of 0.5%. The regular reversal of storage (G0) and loss modulus (G&quot;) was observed with repeated heating (40 to 110 degrees C) and cooling cycles (110 to 40 degrees C) at constant angular frequency and strain.

A series of polyimides were synthesized by one-step high-temperature solution polycondensation of BAC15 with aromatic dianhydrides. Copolyimides were also synthesised by polycondensation of various compositions of BAC15 and 4,4’-oxydianiline with 3,3’,4,4’-biphenyl tetracarboxylic dianhydride. Inherent viscosities and number average molecular weights of (co)polyimides were in the range 0.33-1.4 dL/g and 14700-31900 g/mol, respectively, indicating formation of reasonably high molecular weight polymers. Polyimides were soluble in common organic solvents such as chloroform, dichloromethane and tetrahydrofuran and could be cast into transparent, flexible and tough films from their solutions in chloroform. (Co)polyimides exhibited Tg in the range 161–254 °C. The lowering of Tg could be attributed to the presence of flexible pentadecyl chains which act as “packing disruptive” groups. The temperature at 10% weight loss (T10) of (co)polyimides was in the range 490–515 °C demonstrating their good thermal stability. The virtue of solubility and large gap between Tg and T10 offers (co)polyimides opportunities of both solution as well as melt processability.

Cardanol is obtained as a major product during hot oil extraction or roasting process of CNSL. Cardanol possesses interesting structural features. The aromatic ring of cardanol can undergo electrophilic substitution reactions; the unsaturated side chain can undergo epoxidation, hydrogenation, metathesis, etc., while the phenolic hydroxyl group can undergo various reactions such as esterification and alkylation. Such opportunities of chemical modifications offered by cardanol have been extensively explored to synthesise a range of interesting aromatic difunctional monomers that have subsequently been utilised to prepare a host of step-growth polymers. Summarised herein are research efforts that have contributed towards the synthesis of step-growth polymers based on aromatic difunctional monomers derived from cardanol. The properties of high-performance polymers, with a particular focus on processability and thermal characteristics, are highlighted.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pandit, Kapil S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Desai, Uday V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wadgaonkar, Prakash P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kodam, Kisan M.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sulfamic acid-catalyzed, environmentally benign synthesis of bis-tetronic acids at ambient temperature</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Research on Chemical Intermediates</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">43</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">141-152</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">An enviro-economic protocol has been described for the synthesis of bis-tetronic acids by pseudo-three-component condensation between aldehydes/isatins and tetronic acid using sulfamic acid as a solid acid catalyst.

HPPDPB was polycondensed with terephthalic acid chloride (TPC), isophthalic acid chloride (IPC) and a mixture of TPC and IPC (50:50 mol%) to obtain polyhydrazides containing multiple arylene ether linkages in the backbone and pendent pentadecyl chains. Polyhydrazides were subsequently cyclized in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride to obtain the corresponding poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)s. Polyhydrazides and poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)s exhibited inherent viscosities in the range 0.65–0.72 dL g−1 and 0.54–0.62 dL g−1, respectively, which indicated the formation of reasonably high-molecular weight polymers. Polyhydrazides were soluble in polar aprotic solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and pyridine whereas poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)s exhibited excellent solubility even in common organic solvents such as chloroform, dichloromethane and tetrahydrofuran. Tough, transparent and flexible films of polyhydrazides and poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)s could be cast from DMAc and chloroform solutions, respectively. X-Ray diffraction studies revealed amorphous nature of polyhydrazides and poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)s and the formation of layered structure was observed due to ordered packing of pentadecyl chains. The 10% decomposition temperature (T 10) values for poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)s were in the range 425–440°C indicating their good thermal stability. Glass transition temperature (T g) values of polyhydrazides and poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)s were in the range 175–192°C and 92–103°C, respectively. The excellent solubility characteristics and the large gap between T g (92–103°C) and T 10 (425–440°C) values give poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)-containing pendent pentadecyl chains better opportunities for processability.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;0.92&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">836-848</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parmar, Indravadan A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shedge, Aarti S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badiger, Manohar V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wadgaonkar, Prakash P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lele, Ashish K.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thermo-reversible sol-gel transition of aqueous solutions of patchy polymers</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RSC Advances</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5101-5110</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">While aqueous solutions of several amphiphilic thermo-reversible polymers show gelation upon heating, there are fewer examples of polymer solutions that exhibit gelation when cooled. This paper reports an interesting phenomenon of abrupt thermoreversible gelation of aqueous solutions of a hydrophobically modified polymer upon cooling. A high molecular weight precursor copolymer (PCP, (M-w) over bar approximate to 5 x 10(6) g mol(-1)) of N, N-dimethylacrylamide (70 mol%) and acrylic acid (30 mol%) was modified by reacting 10 mol% of the acrylic acid groups with n-dodecyl amine to form a hydrophobically modified copolymer (HMCP). The composition of the copolymer was ascertained using NMR spectroscopy. Cooling the solution of PCP at a controlled rate resulted in a gradual increase in its low shear viscosity as dictated by the flow activation energy. In contrast, cooling the solution of HMCP under identical conditions resulted in an abrupt and large non-Arrhenius increase in viscosity at a specific transition temperature, which decreased with decrease in polymer concentration. Fluorescence measurements and dynamic light scattering data showed that abrupt gelation happened upon cooling, when polymer coils percolate accompanied with concomitant transition in chain conformation from compact micellar coils formed by intra-chain hydrophobic associations to swollen polymer coils connected by inter-chain hydrophobic interactions.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.289</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shrimant, Bharat</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kharul, Ulhas K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wadgaonkar, Prakash P.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Design, synthesis, and gas permeation properties of polyimides containing pendent imidazolium groups</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Polymer Science Part A-Polymer Chemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AUG</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">56</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1721-1729</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Film-forming polymers containing ionic groups have attracted considerable attention as emerging materials for gas separation applications. The aim of this article was to synthesize new film-forming polyimides containing imidazolium groups (PI-IMs) and establish their structure-performance relationship. In this context, a new aromatic diamine, namely, N-1-(4-aminophenyl)-N-1-(4-(2-phenyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)benzene-1,4-diamine (ImTPADA), was synthesized and polycondensed with three aromatic dianhydrides, namely, 4,4-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride, 4,4-(4,4-isopropylidenediphenoxy) bis(phthalic anhydride), and 4,4-oxydiphthalic anhydride to form the corresponding polyimides containing pendent 2-phenylimidazole groups (PI-IEs). Next, PI-IMs were prepared by N-quaternization of pendent 2-phenylimidazole groups present in PI-6FDA using methyl iodide followed by anion exchange with bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide lithium salt (LiTf2N). PI-IEs and PI-IMs exhibited reasonably high molecular weights, amorphous nature, good solubility, and could be cast into self-standing films from their DMAc solutions. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that 10% weight loss temperature of PI-IEs and PI-IMs were in the range 545-475 degrees C and 303-306 degrees C, respectively. Gas permeability analysis of films of PI-IEs and PI-IMs was investigated by variable-volume method and it was observed that incorporation of ionic groups into PI-6FDA resulted in increased permeability while maintaining selectivity. In particular, polymer bearing Tf2N- anion exhibited high CO2 permeability (33.3 Barr) and high selectivity for CO2/CH4 (41.1) and CO2/N-2 (35.4). (c) 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

About 3 wt% water was required for the formation of the microphase separated physical network of PFPE tetraol. The mechanism responsible for the microphase separation of water clusters in the physical network was studied using a combination of techniques such as NMR spectroscopy, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and DSC. MD simulation studies provided evidence for the formation of clusters in the PFPE tetraol physical network and the size of these clusters increased gradually with an increase in the extent of hydration. Both MD simulations and NMR spectroscopy studies revealed that these clusters position themselves away from the hydrophobic backbone or vice versa. The presence of intra-and inter-chain aggregation possibility among hydrophilic groups was evident. DSC results demonstrated the presence of tightly and loosely bound water molecules to the terminal hydroxyl groups of PFPE tetraol through hydrogen bonding. The data from all the three techniques established the formation of a physical network driven by hydrogen bonding between the hydrophilic end groups of PFPE tetraol and water molecules. The flexible nature of the PFPE tetraol backbone and its low solubility parameter favour clustering of water molecules at the terminal groups and result in the formation of a gel.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.889</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chhatre, Shraddha</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ichake, Amol</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Harpale, Kashmira</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patil, Sumati</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deshpande, Aparna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">More, Mahendra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wadgaonkar, Prakash P.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenazine-containing poly(phenylenevinylene): a new polymer with impressive field emission properties</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Polymer Research</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">field emission</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenazine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poly(phenylenevinylene)</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FEB</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article Number: 61</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Phenazine-containing poly(phenylenevinylene) (P(PHN-PV)) was synthesized using Wittig-Horner polycondensation of the appropriately designed monomers viz. 5,10-dioctyl-5,10-dihydrophenazine-2,7-dicarbaldehyde and tetraethyl ((2,5-bis((2-ethylhexyl) oxy)-1,4 phenylene) bis(methylene)) bis(phosphonate).

GPC analysis revealed that number average molecular weights of polymers were in the range 48,100-61,700 gmol(-1), suggesting the formation of reasonably high molecular weight polymers. They possessed intrinsic microporosity with Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area in the range 703-741 m(2)g(-1). Thermogravimetric analysis of polymers indicated that 10% weight loss temperature was in the range 513-518 degrees C demonstrating their excellent thermal stability.

(Co)polycarbonates were characterized using FT-IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR spectroscopy, XRD, TGA and DSC analysis. The chemical modification of a representative copolycarbonate containing pendant maleimide groups was carried out quantitatively using thiol-maleimide Michael addition reaction with two thiol compounds, namely, 4-chlorothiophenol and 1-adamantanethiol. Additionally, it was demonstrated that copolycarbonate containing pendant maleimide groups could be used to form insoluble cross-linked gel by reaction with a multifunctional thiol cross-linker, namely, pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate).&lt;/p&gt;

Antiproliferative activity of all the synthesized compounds was investigated against panel of cancer cell lines such as MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, HeLa, PANG-1, A-549, and THP-1. Many of the synthesized compounds exhibited good anti-proliferative activity against breast (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) and cervical (HeLa) cancer cells with IC50 values less than 10 mu M. In case of MCF-7 cells, among the nine compounds that showed good anti-proliferative activity, compounds 6f and 6j were found to be highly potent (IC50 , = 2.13 mu M and 4.80 mu M, respectively). In case of MDA-MB-231, three compounds (6k, 6j and 6s) showed antiproliferative activity amongst which 6k was the most potent one (IC50 = 3.78 mu M). On the other hand, in cervical cancer HeLa cells, compounds 6b, 6g, 6s and 6u showed excellent antiproliferative activity (IC50 = 4.05, 3.54, 3.83, 3.35 mu M, respectively).

Aromatic (co)polyesters bearing pendant maleimide groups were synthesized from PPH-MA and aromatic diacid chlorides, namely, isophthaloyl chloride (IPC), terephthaloyl chloride (TPC), and 50:50 mol % mixture of IPC and TPC by low temperature solution polycondensation technique. Copolyesters were also synthesized by polycondensation of different molar proportions of PPH-MA and bisphenol A with IPC. Inherent viscosities and number-average molecular weights of aromatic (co)polyesters were in the range of 0.52-0.97 dL/g and 20,200-32,800 g/mol, respectively indicating formation of medium to reasonably high-molecular-weight polymers. C-13 NMR spectral analysis of copolyesters revealed the formation of random copolymers. The 10% weight loss temperature of (co)polyesters was found in the range 470-484 degrees C, indicating their good thermal stability. A selected aromatic polyester bearing pendant maleimide groups was chemically modified via thiol-maleimide Michael addition reaction with two representative thiol compounds, namely, 4-chlorothiophenol and 1-adamantanethiol to yield post-modified polymers in a quantitative manner. Additionally, it was demonstrated that polyester containing pendant maleimide groups could be used to form insoluble crosslinked gel in the presence of a multifunctional thiol crosslinker.

To achieve the synthesis of desired miktoarm star polymers, acetyl protected poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) thiols (M-n = 550 and 2000 g mol(-1)) were utilized to generate A(3)-type of homoarm star polymers through an in situ protective group removal and a subsequent thiol-epoxy ``click'' reaction with a tris-epoxide core viz. 1,1,1-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane triglycidyl ether. The secondary hydroxyl groups generated adjacent to the core upon the thiol-epoxy reaction were esterified with alpha-bromoisobutyryl bromide to install atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiating sites. ATRP of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) using the three-arm star PEG polymer fitted with ATRP initiating sites adjacent to the core afforded A(3)B(3)-type of double hydrophilic (PEG)(3)[poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)] (PNIPAM)(3) miktoarm star polymers. Furthermore, the generated hydroxyl groups were directly used as initiator for ring-opening polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone to prepare A(3)B(3)-type of amphiphilic (PEG)(3)[poly(epsilon-caprolactone)](3) miktoarm star polymers. The double hydrophilic (PEG)(3)(PNIPAM)(3) miktoarm star polymers showed lower critical solution temperature around 34 degrees C. The preliminary transmission electron microscopy analysis indicated formation of self-assembly of (PEG)(3)(PNIPAM)(3) miktoarm star polymer in aqueous solution. (c) 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

PPH-N-3 was conveniently synthesized starting from commercially available phenolphthalein by a three-step route in an overall yield of 65% using simple organic transformations. Aromatic (co)polyesters bearing pendant azido groups were synthesized by low-temperature solution polycondensation of PPH-N-3 or different molar ratios of PPH-N-3 and bisphenol-A (BPA) with aromatic diacid chlorides in dry dichloromethane in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) as a base. The formation of medium to reasonably high-molecular-weight (co)polyesters was evidenced from intrinsic viscosity and number-average molecular-weight measurements that were in the range 0.52-0.85 dL/g and 16,700-28,200, respectively. Tough, transparent, and flexible films could be cast from chloroform solutions of these (co)polyesters. (Co)polyesters were characterized using FTIR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR spectroscopy, XRD, and TGA. The thermal curing reaction of (co)polyesters involving decomposition of azido groups was studied by DSC analysis. The chemical modification of a representative copolyester containing pendant azido groups was carried out quantitatively using catalyst-free azide-maleimide cycloaddition reaction with two maleimides, namely, N-methylmaleimide and N-hexylmaleimide.

New partially bio-based (co) poly(ether sulfone) s bearing pendant furyl groups were synthesized via aromatic nucleophilic substitution polycondensation of BPF and various mixtures of BPF and bisphenol-A with bis(4-fluorophenyl) sulfone in N, N-dimethylacetamide as a solvent. (Co) poly(ether sulfone) s showed inherent viscosities in the range 0.92-1.47 dL g(-1) and number average molecular weights ((M-n) over bar), obtained from GPC, were in the range 91 300-131 000 g mol(-1). (Co) poly(ether sulfone) s could be cast into tough, transparent and flexible films from chloroform solutions. (Co)poly(ether sulfone)s showed 10% weight loss in the temperature range 431-481 degrees C and DSC showed T-g in the range 179-190 degrees C. Tensile strength, Young's modulus and elongation at break, obtained from tensile testing of (co) poly(ether sulfone) s containing pendant furyl groups, were in the range 76.7-83.8 MPa, 1.02-1.18 GPa and 21.4-89.7%, respectively. Most interestingly, pendant furyl groups in (co) poly(ether sulfone) s provide reactive sites for click modification and cross-linking via Diels-Alder reaction with maleimides and bismaleimides, respectively. Crosslinked (co) poly(ether sulfone) was prepared via Diels-Alder reaction of a representative (co) poly(ether sulfone) containing pendant furyl groups with 1,1'-(methylenedi-1,4-phenylene) bismaleimide (BMI) at 60 degrees C. The formation of cross-linked poly(ether sulfone) was demonstrated by gelation tests, solubility tests and DSC. The cross-linked copoly(ether sulfone) prepared using BMI showed enhanced tensile strength and Young's modulus compared to parent copoly(ether sulfone) and was recycled two times with retention of mechanical properties.&lt;/p&gt;

The basis of the method is the formation of stable complex of `soft base' FBIMMT with `soft acid' ruthenium(M). The reagent FBIMMT in n-butanol easily forms extractable yellow coloured complex with ruthenium(III) in acetate buffer of pH 4.8. The absorbance of [Ru(III)-FBIMMT] complex is measured at 394 nm against the reagent blank. Good linearity range of concentration up to 27.0 mu g mL(-1) of ruthenium(III) is attained with correlation coefficient R-2 = 0.998. The optimum concentration range is 6 to 27.0 mu g mL(-1) which is deduced by Ringbom's plot. The apparent molar absorptivity found to be 2.75 x 10(3) L mol(-1) cm(-1). Some additional characteristics such as limit of detection (LOD = 0.48 mu g mL(-1)), limit of quantification (LOQ = 1.19 mu g mL(-1)), and Sandell's sensitivity (SS = of 0.0367 mu g cm(-2)) arc also estimated. The composition of [Ru (III)-FBIMMT1 complex has been established from Job's continuous variation method, mole ratio method, and log-log plot method. The specificity towards ruthenium(III) is well studied and appropriate masking agents are applied wherever required to boost it. The intra-day and inter-day precision values are found to be brilliant with % relative standard deviation of 0.52 and 0.68 respectively with % accuracy within the range of 99.00-100. The method is effectively used for determination of ruthenium(III) from water samples, binary and ternary synthetic mixtures, fissium alloy samples and catalyst materials. A scheme for sequential group separation of ruthenium(III), palladium(II) and osmium (VIII) has also been developed. The reproducible results of the present method confirm that the method has a good potential for quantitative determination of ruthenium(III) from various matrices. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.

Three new partially bio-based triarylamine-containing polyimides were synthesised by one-step high temperature solution poly-condensation of 4, 4'-diamino-4 `' pentadecyltriphenylamine with aromatic dianhydrides, namely, 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA) and 4,4'-(hexa-fluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride (6-FDA). Polyimides were determined to be of reasonably high molecular weights as inherent viscosity and number average molecular weights (M-n, Polystyrene standard) values were in the range 0.54-0.60 dL g(-1) and 26,800-43,500 g mol(-1), respectively. Polyimides exhibited excellent solubility in common organic solvents and film-forming nature along with reasonably good thermal properties as indicated by temperature for 10% weight loss (T-10) and glass transition temperatures (T-g) which were in the range 418-447 and 165-225 degrees C, respectively. The optical and electrochemical band-gap values were in the range of 1.95-1.98 eV and 1.671-1.745 eV, respectively. Among triarylamine-containing polyimide devices, BPDA-based device showed acceptable current-voltage and non-volatile memory properties such as the endurance of 500 cycles and 1000 s of retention time. The conduction mechanism developed in the memory devices was also explored and was found to follow Ohmic and Schottky conduction mechanisms.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.598</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nagane, Samadhan S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maher, Deepak M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verma, Savita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Talanikar, Aniket A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wadgaonkar, Prakash P.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pendant propargyloxy-functionalized aromatic (co)polycarbonates: synthesis, thermal crosslinking and chemical modification</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Macromolecular Science Part A-Pure and Applied Chemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aromatic polycarbonate</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemical modification</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">propargyloxy groups</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">thermal crosslinking</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">thiol-yne click reaction</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2022</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NOV</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">59</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">752-763</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;
	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.&lt;/p&gt;

	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.&lt;/p&gt;

	2-Pentadecyl-[1,1''-biphenyl]-4,4''-diol (PBD) is synthesized starting from cashew nut shell liquid-a by-product of cashew processing industry. A new series of partially biobased aromatic (co)polycarbonates possessing biphenylene units and pendant pentadecyl chains is synthesized by solution polycondensation of PBD or varying compositions of PBD and bisphenol-A with triphosgene in dry dichloromethane. Inherent viscosities and number average molecular weights of (co)polycarbonates are in the range 0.51-1.24 dL g(-1) and 18 x 10(3)- 43.4 x 10(3) g mol(-1), respectively indicating the formation of reasonably high molecular weight polymers. Flexible, transparent, and free-standing films of (co)polycarbonates can be cast from chloroform solution. (Co)polycarbonates are characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. T-10 and T-g values of (co)polycarbonates are in the range 417-433 and 8-147 degrees C, respectively. It is demonstrated that the T-g values can be tuned by incorporation of appropriate mol% of PBD as a comonomer in Bisphenol-A-based copolycarbonates. The lowering of the T-g values of (co)polycarbonates can be attributed primarily to the packing disruptive effect of flexible pentadecyl chains. Furthermore, the effect of incorporation of PBD as a comonomer on water contact angle values of (co)polycarbonates is evaluated.&lt;/p&gt;

	A new series of (co)polycarbonates bearing pendent azido groups was synthesized by polycondensation of varying molar proportions of 4, 4'-(5-azidopentane-2, 2-diyl) diphenol and bisphenol-A with triphosgene. The chemical structures, compositions and random nature of (co)polycarbonates were confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. Inherent viscosities and number-average molecular weights of (co)polycarbonates were in the range 0.63-0.77 dL g(-1) and 35,400-43,400 g mol(-1), respectively indicating the formation of reasonably high molecular weight polymers. (Co)polycarbonates could be cast into tough, transparent and flexible films from chloroform solutions. (Co)polycarbonates were further characterized using IR spectroscopy, XRD, TGA and DSC. The thermal crosslinking of (co)polycarbonates bearing pendant azido groups was studied by DSC analysis. 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. The measurement of mechanical properties of representative crosslinked (co)polycarbonates indicated increase in tensile strength and Young's modulus and decrease in % elongation compared to corresponding parent linear (co)polycarbonates.&lt;/p&gt;

A homo and five PEEK-NBs were synthesized by polycondensation of 4, 4'-difluorobenzophenone with BPA-NB and various compositions of BPA-NB and bisphenol-A, respectively. H-1 NMR spectroscopy confirmed the chemical structure and composition of PEEK-NBs.

PPH-MA was utilized as a step-growth monomer for the synthesis of a homo- and fourco-polycarbonates bearing pendant 2,3-dimethylmaleimido groups (PC-MAs) via solution polycondensation of PPH-MA or various mol % compositions of PPH-MA and bisphenol-A, respectively, with triphosgene.H-1 NMR spectroscopy confirmed the chemical structure and composition of PC-MAs. Inherent viscosity and number average molecular weight values of PC-MAs were in the range 0.45-0.64 dL g(-1) and 18,300 - 36,200 g mol(-1), respectively, indicating the formation of polymers of medium to reasonably high molecular weights. Tough, transparent and flexible films of PC-MAs could be cast from chloroform solution. X-ray diffraction studies indicated the amorphous nature of PC-MAs.

	A largely bio-based new bisphenol, namely, 4,4 `-((3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methylene)-bis(2-methoxyphenol) (DMBM) was synthesized by the reaction of veratraldehyde with guaiacol. DMBM and varying compositions of DMBM and bisphenol A were polycondensed with bis(4-fluorophenyl) sulfone to afford reasonably high molecular weight film-forming (co)poly(ether sulfone)s possessing built-in methoxyl groups. T10 and Tg values of (co)poly(ether sulfone)s were in the range 382-478 degrees C and 171-187 degrees C, respectively indicating their good thermal stability and the values decreased with increase in mol % incorporation of DMBM. The methoxyl groups present in (co)poly (ether sulfone)s were quantitatively de-blocked resulting in the formation of corresponding polymers possessing pendant catechol moieties and free phenolic hydroxyl groups. By virtue of the presence of these functional moieties, (co)poly(ether sulfone)s are amenable for post-polymerization modifications, and exhibited properties such as antimicrobial (23 mm against Staphylococcus aureus and 18 mm against Escherichia coli)), antioxidant (72 % scavenger of free radicals), adhesive (2.24 MPa lap shear strength) and usefulness as redox-active agent in zinc-ion batteries. These data underscore the promise of DMBM as a versatile monomer of wider utility for the synthesis of functional (co)poly(ether sulfone)s capable of expanding their applicability beyond the conventional ones.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, icomoon, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;A gradient reversed-phase HPLC method was developed for in-process monitoring of the formation of aryl porphyrins and their corresponding metallo-aryl porphyrins. The method also proved effective for determining their quantitative purity. Optimal results achieving proper peak shape and separation of peaks in the chromatogram were obtained using C8 column and gradient of acetic acid-water and acetonitrile. The detector wavelength was selected for simultaneous detection of starting materials and products for in-process analysis for conversion of aryl aldehydes to corresponding tetraaryl porphyrins at 254 nm and metallo-aryl porphyrins formation from tetraaryl porphyrin at 413 nm, respectively; while the purity of products could be determined at 413 nm. The developed method is efficient, versatile, accurate, and easy to carry out and could serve as a handy tool for the reaction monitoring and determination of purity in the processes development of synthetic porphyrins and metalloporphyrins.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

	Herein, we report the design and synthesis of bio-degradable porous polyurethane hydrogels by a green, solvent-free, one-pot technique that can withstand physiological mechanical loads and aid in tissue regeneration. The hydrophilic/hydrophobic nature of the hydrogel was tuned using diols such as polycaprolactone diol (PCL) and polycarbonate diol (PCD), in combination with polyethylene glycol (PEG, MW approximate to 4000 g mol-1), 4,4 `-methylene bis(cyclohexyl isocyanate) (H12MDI) and hexanetriol (HT), which served as crosslinking agents. The structural characterizations of the hydrogels were performed using FT-IR as well as 1H and 13C high resolution magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (HR-MAS) spectroscopy. The utilization of various diols in the synthesis of the hydrogels enabled precise control over crystallinity, pore sizes, and customization of mechanical and degradation properties. These hydrogels exhibited tensile strength in the range of 0.22-1.48 MPa, while their compressive strength varied from 0.92 to 29.3 MPa. In vitro degradation profiles in the presence and absence of the enzyme Amano lipase PS revealed that the degradation process is contingent upon the specific diol present in the hydrogel. Furthermore, preliminary in vitro biological experiments confirmed the biocompatibility of the gels, indicating their potential as suitable substrates for drug delivery applications. This diverse library of gels can be shaped into specific forms, highlighting their promising applications as scaffolds and implants in drug delivery systems and tissue engineering.&lt;/p&gt;

	A new biphenyl methyl ether viz 2,2 `,3,3 `-tetramethoxy-5,5 `-bis(methoxymethyl)-1,1 `-biphenyl (TBMB) was synthesized starting from vanillin via three-step reaction sequence. The self-polycondensation of TBMB by employing two Bronsted acid catalysts, viz, p- toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TFSA) led to the formation of organic hyper-crosslinked polymers (HCPs) containing built-in methoxyl groups. HCPs were characterized by FTIR, solid state 13 C NMR, XPS, XRD, TGA, BET, and FESEM analysis techniques. HCPs synthesized using PTSA (HCP-PTSA) and TFSA (HCP-TFSA) exhibited a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 480 +/- 5 and 590 +/- 4 m2/g, respectively and consisted of hierarchical pore structures with both micropores and mesopores. HCP-TFSA was evaluated as an active coating layer on conventional polypropylene (PP) separator in lithium-sulfur batteries to suppress the polysulfide shuttling on account of the ability of methoxyl groups to anchor soluble polysulfide species via coordination. The significant polysulfide adsorption capacity and improved cycling stability with a capacity of 617.2 mAh g- 1 at 0.5C and 99% capacity retention highlighted the potential of porous HCP containing built-in methoxyl groups in the development of attractive lithium-sulfur battery systems.&lt;/p&gt;

	4, 4'-(Bicyclo (2.2.1) hept-5-en-2 yl methylene) bis (2-methoxyphenol) (BPA-NB) was polymerized via phase transfer catalyzed interfacial polycondensation with an equimolar mixture (50:50 mol %) of isophthaloyl chloride (IPC) and terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) to obtain aromatic copolyester bearing pendant norbornenyl groups (PES-NB). Furthermore, three different compositions of BPA-NB and bisphenol A (BPA) were polycondensed with IPC to obtain a series of copolyesters. 1H NMR spectroscopy confirmed the chemical structure and compositions of PES-NBs. Inherent viscosity and number-average molecular weight values of PES-NBs were in the range 0.82 to 1.06 dLg-1 and 63,600 to 95,300 gmol-1, respectively, indicating the formation of polymers of reasonably high molecular weights. PES-NBs readily dissolved in common organic solvents such as chloroform, dichloromethane, and tetrahydrofuran, and tough, transparent, flexible films could be cast from their chloroform solutions. X-Ray diffraction studies indicated amorphous nature of PES-NBs. Glass transition temperature (Tg) values of PES-NBs were in the range 215 to 195 degrees C and Tg values increased with the increase in mol % of BPA-NB.&lt;/p&gt;

	New aromatic copolyesters were synthesized by phase-transfer catalyzed interfacial polycondensation of 4,4 `-((3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methylene)bis(2-methoxyphenol) (DMBM) with isophthaloyl chloride (IPC) and a mixture of (50:50 mol %) IPC and terephthaloyl chloride (TPC). Additionally, a series of copolyesters was synthesized by polycondensation of varying compositions of DMBM and bisphenol A with IPC. Copolyesters exhibited inherent viscosity and Mn values in the range 0.59-0.98 dL/g and 15,840-49,460 g/mol, respectively, indicating formation of reasonably high molecular weight polymers. Copolyesters could be cast into tough, transparent and flexible films from chloroform solution. UV-vis measurements on films gave values of T400, T450 and cut-off wavelength in the range 80-84 %, 83-89 % and 324-334 nm, respectively. The formation of random copolyesters was evidenced by 13C NMR spectroscopic studies. Copolyesters exhibited good thermal stability with 10% weight loss temperature in the range 391-438 degrees C. The Tg values of copolyesters were in the range 162-180 degrees C and Tg values decreased with an increase in mol% content of DMBM. Copolyesters exhibited tensile strength, Young's modulus and elongation at break values in the range 83.55-70.68 MPa, 2.11-1.31 GPa and 10.52-5.45 %, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;

	Hyaluronic acid and its derivatives are essential polysaccharides widely used in the bio-medical field for their applications in tissue engineering and controlled drug delivery. By revisiting the wide variety of rheological behavior of aqueous hyaluronan solutions as a function of pH, we develop in this work a comparative study between solutions of native hyaluronan (HA) and its derivative (HA-PEPO) obtained by grafting onto thermoresponsive side-chains of poly(ethylene oxide-co-propylene oxide) characterized by a phase transition around body temperature. Based on a large dataset obtained at a fixed polymer concentration, by changing either the chemical composition of the chain and/or the environmental conditions (pH, temperature, added salt), we show that the viscoelastic properties of hyaluronan solutions can be controlled over more than three decades of amplitude with the possibility to get either liquid or gel states, regardless of temperature, as well as sol/gel transitions induced by cooling or heating by the interplay between hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and cation binding induced by potassium salts.&lt;/p&gt;
