A new family of high-molecular-weight and high Tg poly(ester carbonate)s partially based on renewable isosorbide were prepared by incorporating 1,4-butanediol and dimethyl terephthalate into poly(isosorbide carbonate).

Abstract Structure-property relationships were investigated in hyperbranched polyisobutylenes, in comparison with commercial linear butyl rubber. The gel-free, soluble hyperbranched polyisobutylenes, synthesized by living carbocationic polymerization, had molecular weights, Mw≈400,000 to 1,000,000 g/mol, molecular weight distributions, MWD ≈1.2 to 2.6, and branching frequencies, BR ≈ 4 to 60. The mechanical and viscoelastic characterization of these polymers revealed interesting properties, including the characteristics of crosslinked rubbers.

Polyetherimides have been synthesized by two complementary routes starting from 4-halophthalic anhydride. A range of polymers has been prepared by varying the structure of the diamines and bisphenols employed in the syntheses. These polymers have been characterized by their m spectra, molecular weight and thermal properties. The applicability and limitations of the synthetic routes are discussed. Structure-property (glass transition temperature, Tg relationships are elucidated and discused in terms of the structural fragments in the polymer chain. Chain flexibility, rotational freedom and inter-chain interactions are all important parameters affecting the polymer properties. The effect of polymer molecular weight on Tg is also discussed.

Abstract The effect of polymer structures on the rubber processing and physical properties of the improved Hycar 1090 low compression set nitrile rubbers was investigated. The molecular weight and acrylonitrile content of a polymer are important variables in determining the compound processing and vulcanizate physical properties. Within the range of 21 to 88 Mooney, a blend of high and low Mooney polymers has approximately the same properties as those from a single polymer of the same Mooney viscosity. The molecular weight distribution was not significantly broadened to become an important factor affecting the polymer properties. All polymers with Mooney viscosities from 21 to 88 showed good properties. An understanding of the structure and properties of this new type of NBR, will help in choosing the right kind of polymer for particular applications.

4H-dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]pyrrole has recently become a useful building block in the synthesis of donor-acceptor molecules with practical application in various organic technologies. The DTP molecule itself consists of a pyrrole ring with two fused thiophenes providing an alternative for the related dithieno[3,2-b:2′,3′-d]thiophene. Most notably, the significance of DTP-based low- and high-molecular weight species has increased in recent years since, upon proper processing, they allow to improve the performance of many fields of organic electronics. This review is a trial of a brief report on recent advances in modern DTP chemistry with examples of their applications, mostly in the area of organic photovoltaics. The scope of this manuscript was to present the structure-property relationships that had been found together with the development of DTP-based materials.
