Poly(aspartic acid) can be synthesized by different methods with and without catalyst in different forms such as polysuccinimide, either hydrolyzed to acid or salt. The polymer of (aspartic acid) is present in different forms such as alpha, beta and L, D isomers. The conformational analysis of poly(aspartic acid) was done by various analytical methods. Different combinations of these two isomer present in different percentage can be detected by various methods such as Hoffman degradation, IR, and NMR spectroscopic analysis. From the standard test for biodegrad ability, it was shown that the polymer is fully biodegradable. In this review, synthesis and characterization of homo and copolymer derivatives of PAA, along with the application and biodegradability in comparison with the other polymer in use, is discussed briefly.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.02</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%">Mule, Smita Atmaram</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghadage, R.

Thermal degradation kinetics of these polyesters were investigated by applying Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzger nonisothermal procedures. The dynamic thermogravimetry experiments were conducted in nitrogen to obtain differential thermogravimetric plots. Thermal stability of these polyesters was discussed on the basis of semiquantitative methods such as differential procedural decomposition temperature, integral procedural decomposition temperature, and fraction decomposition temperature (e.g., 10 % DT). Degradation proceeded in multiple stages. The thermal degradation patterns and activation energies in these stages were discussed in relation to central bridging moieties of aromatic diol. The activation energies of these polyesters were found to be in the range of 100 to 200 kJ/mol. The effect of spacer type on activation energy was also reported.

The new transurethane process was investigated for A + 13, A-A + B, and A-A + B-B (A-urethane and B-hydroxyl) type condensation reactions, and also monomers bearing primary and secondary urethane or hydroxyl functionalities. The transurethane process was confirmed by H-1 and C-13 NMR, and molecular weight of the polymers were obtained as M-n = 10-15 X 10(3) and M-w = 15-45 X 10(3) g/mol. The mechanistic aspects of the melt transurethane process and role of the catalyst were investigated using model reactions, H-1 NMR, and MALDI-TOF-MS. The model reactions indicated the occurrence of 97% reaction in the presence of catalyst, whereas its absence gave only less than 2% of the product. The polymer samples were subjected for end-group analysis using MALDI-TOF-MS, which confirms the Ti-catalyst mediated nonisocyanate pathway in the melt transurethane process. Almost all the polyurethanes were stable up to 280 degrees C, and the T-g of the polyurethanes can be easily fine-tuned from -30 to 120 degrees C by using appropriate diols in the melt transurethane process.

	Polyphosphazenes, with their synthetic flexibilities, can be tailored to achieve various desirable properties. The synthesis of basic linear polymer polydichlorophosphazene (PDCP) free of branching and crosslinking is the most challenging step, and its extreme sensitivity to moisture makes storage and handling difficult. In the reaction of (NH4)2SO4and PCl5 (1:4.5 mole ratio) via one-pot two-step method, the monomer [Cl3PNP(O)Cl2] synthesized from the 1st step directly undergoes bulk polycondensation (2nd step) to produce PDCP. Due to impurities, the produced PDCP is afflicted by frequent branching, cyclic oligomers, and crosslinking. We are reporting an improved one-pot synthesis coupled with an in-situ purification step of the monomer (as confirmed by 31P NMR) with little excess PCl5 in mole ratio (1:4.6-1:4.8). Further, the stability of PDCP and its solutions in toluene and THF have been examined under an inert atmosphere at three different temperatures: room temperature, 0 degrees C-4 degrees C, and -25 degrees C. These stored samples were monitored for cross-linking, gelling, or any other degradation by characterizing through 31P NMR for the appearance of additional peaks. The PDCP can be stored at -25 degrees C for 2 months (pure) and 4 months (toluene) without any deterioration in its structure.&lt;/p&gt;
