Terpolymer (2-ATPHMDAF-I) has been synthesized by the condensation of 2-aminothiophenol and hexamethylenediamine with formaldehyde in the presence of 2 M hydrochloric acid as a catalyst with 1 : 1 : 2 molar proportion of reacting monomers. The structure of newly synthesized terpolymer has been elucidated and confirmed on the basis of elemental analysis and various spectral techniques, that is, UV-visible, FT-IR, and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Number average molecular weight (Mn¯) has been determined by conductometric titration in nonaqueous medium. The viscosity measurements in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) have been carried out to ascertain the characteristic functions and constants. The studies have been further extended to nonisothermal thermogravimetric analysis for determination of their mode of decomposition and relative thermal stability. Activation energy Ea, order of reaction (n), and frequency factor (z) were calculated by Friedman, Chang, Sharp-Wentworth and Freeman-Carroll methods. Activation energy calculated by Friedman and Chang methods are in close agreement with each other while the results obtained from Freeman-Carroll and Sharp-Wentworth’s methods are found to be in a similar order.

Abstract The cationic copolymerization of 1,3-pentadiene (PD) with α-pinene (AP) initiated by aluminum trichloride (AlCl3) was carried out in N-pentane solvent. The effects of the polymerization temperature and the comonomer composition on the yield of the copolymer, softening point, Gardner color scale and number-average molecular weight (Mn) are discussed. The performance of the copolymer was better than that of AP homopolymer (PAP) and PD homopolymer (PPD). The structure of the copolymer was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), 13C-NMR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). In addition, the reactivity ratios for AP (M1) and PD (M2) determined by the Kelen-Tudos method from low-conversion data are r1=0.58 and r2=5.92, respectively.

The canna amylose (CAM) was separated from canna starch grown in China and purified both using the method of n-butanol recrystallization. The purity, morphology, spectral properties and molecular weight of CAM were characterized by ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometer (UV/Vis), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FT-IR) and Ubbelohde viscometer. Maximum absorption wavelength of the purified CAM (635-638 nm) and it’s blue values (BV) (1.167 ± 0.209) prove that the purification of the CAM by n-butanol recrystallization was successfully carried out. The SEM results show that CAM granule surface become rougher and the CAM granule size become smaller than that of canna starch. The XRD results suggest that most of CAM granule is amorphous. And the FT-IR results show that the basic chemical groups of canna starch are also presented in CAM. However, the amorphous area of CAM is increased. The intrinsic viscosity and viscosity-average molecular weight of CAM is 78.5 mL/g and 1.65×105, respectively.

AbstractCardanol was extracted from technical Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL), a naturally occurring meta-substituted long chain phenol and oligomerized by heating at 140 °C. Products were characterized by rheology, infrared and 1H NMR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Increase in viscosity and the flow activation energy was found with increasing time of heating. The relative absorbance of double bond of the hydrocarbon chain decreased with time of heating and indicated that the oligomerization is taking place through the unsaturation of the side chain. Decrease in internal double bond as well as in vinyl bond, observed by 1H NMR, pointed out to the participation of these two kinds of unsaturation as well as monoene, diene and triene. The oligomerization is a slow process. With 40 h of heating, the average molecular weight increases only by 46%. Great differences were found in TGA curves of cardanol with different times of oligomerization. Thermal stability increases with time of heating. The degree of oligomerization could be determined from relative mass loss of the first event of TG, or from flow activation energy.

The new complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of Hg(II) and Pd(II) with acetic acid(2-hydroxy-benzylidene)- hydrazide (L). These new complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, H NMR spectroscopy and UV spectral techniques. The changes observed between the FT-IR, H NMR and UV-Vis spectra of the ligands and of the complexes allowed us to establish the coordination mode of the metal in complexes. Thermal properties, TG-DTA of these complexes were studied. TG- DTA and other analytical methods have been applied to the investigation of the thermal behavior and structure of the compounds [M(L)2]Cl2M= Hg, Pd. Thermal decomposition of these compounds is multi-stage processes.

Synthesis of Poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) by the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of L-lactides in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) with co-solvent were studied. Effects of kinds of co-solvent on the molecular weight (MW) and the molecular weight distribution (MWD) of the resultant polymers were investigated by the gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The resultant polymers were also characterized with1H NMR,13C NMR and FT-IR. It was found that PLLA with high purity and almost without racemization could be obtained by this technology and the acetone is the best co-solvent for this kind of polymerization. By using stannous octoate as initiator and acetone as co-solvent, PLLA having a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) near to 9×104and polydispersity index (PDI) of 1.7 was successfully synthesized.

High molecular weight poly (lactic acid) (PLA) was obtained by chain extending with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). The influences of the amount of chain extender, reaction time, and molecular weight changes of prepolymers on the poly(lactic acid) were investigated. PLA prepolymer with a viscosity, average molecular weight (Mη) of 2 × 104 g/mol was synthesized froml-lactide using stannous octoate as the catalyst. After 20 min of chain extension at 175°C, the resulting polymer hadMwof 20.3 × 104 g/mol andMnof 10.5 × 104 g/mol. Both FT-IR and1H-NMR verified that the structure of PLA did not change either before chain extending or after. The optically active characterized that the chain extending-product was left handed. DSC and XRD results showed that both theTgand the crystallinity of PLA were lowered by chain-extension reaction. The crystalline transformation happened in PLA after chain extending, crystallineα′form toαform.
