Solution Polycondensation

ABSTRACTA block copolymer consisting of liquid crystalline polyester segments and methylated polyamide segments has been synthesized. Solution polycondensation of acid chloride end-capped poly(terephthaloyl phenylhydroquinone) (LCP portion) with an amine terminated poly(N,N'-dimethylethylene sebacamide) was utilized to prepare the block copolymer. Characterization by differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, optical microscopy and elemental analysis has been performed to verify the existence of the block copolymer that may have potential as a molecular composite material or self-reinforcing thermoplastic.

The synthesis and characterization of new deuterated liquid crystal (LC) compounds based on phenyl tolane core is described in this paper. The work presents an alternative molecular approach to the conventional LC design. Correlations between molecular structure and mesomorphic and optical properties for compounds which are alkyl-hydrogen terminated and alkyl-deuterium, have been drawn. The compounds are characterized by mass spectrometry (electron ionization) analysis and infrared spectroscopy. They show enantiotropic nematic behavior in a broad temperature range, confirmed by a polarizing thermomicroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Detailed synthetic procedures are attached. Synthesized compounds show a significantly reduced absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) and medium-wavelength infrared (MWIR) radiation range, and stand as promising components of medium to highly birefringent liquid crystalline mixtures.

Stilbene Derivatives

Several series of stilbene derivatives for possible use as smart additives in polymers used as packaging films have been prepared and characterized. Differential scanning calorimetry was performed on some of the stilbenes in order to determine any liquid crystal properties. Those compounds which had multiple phase transitions were also shown to have two liquid crystalline phases according to optical microscopy.

Thermotropic Properties

Hyperbranched liquid crystalline polymer (HLCP) were prepared by pentaerythritol with 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic anhydride(BTCA) and p-hydroxy benzoic acid. The thermotropic properties, the melting point (Tm) and the isotropization temperature (Ti) of the synthesized HLCP were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and polarizing optical microscopy (POM). It showed that the new reactive thermotropic liquid polymer containing polyester mesogenic units exhibited thermotropic liquid crystalline properties between 140°C and 230°C.

Purity Determination

The 2-methoxycinnamylidenepyruvic acid (2-MeO-HCP) was synthesized and characterized for nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H and 13C NMR), mass spectrometry (MS), Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The application of DSC for purity determination is well documented in literature and is used in the analysis of pure organic compounds. The molecular geometry and vibrational frequencies of 2-MeO-HCP have been calculated.

There are few examples of thermotropic polyimides reported in the literature. In the present article the authors report the synthesis and characterization of some novel oligoand poly-imides which exhibit mesogenic behaviour. The solution method of Yamazaki et al (Yamazaki N, Higashi F and Kawasaki J 1974 J. Polym. Sci., Polym. Chem. Ed. 12 2149) for the preparation of polyamides was successfully applied to the formation of imide compounds and oligomers. Liquid crystal phases were characterized by optical polarizing microscopy and by differential scanning calorimetry. Two anhydrides were employed which were considered to be suitable building blocks for preparing potentially mesogenic polyimides, namely biphenyl tetracarboxytic dianhydride and pyromellitic dianhydride. Low-molar-mass materials were first synthesized with monoanhydride units to endcap the chains. using nadic and maleic anhydrides. Nematic phases Awere observed in several nadic diimide compounds containing multicyclic cores and in some low-molar-mass diimides and polyimides which contained a biphenylene unit in conjunction with at least one other unsaturated ring When the nadlmldes were heated above 220 C cross-linking and decomposition occurred with loss of mesogenic properties. A fusible polyimide was synthesized containing a flexible chain which exhibited thermotropic behaviour below its decomposition temperature.

Higher homologues of N-(p-n-alkoxybenzylidene)-p-n-alkylanilines (nO.m) compounds with n = 15 and 18 and m = 4 to 10, 12, 14, and 16 have been synthesized and the smectic polymesomorphism is studied. The transition temperatures were obtained both from thermal polarizing microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The compounds exhibit a smectic-F phase from the isotropic melt, their amount increasing with the number of the alkoxy chain. This implies that with the alkoxy chain number the manifestation of smectic-F occurs with shorter alkyl chain. The phase variants were confirmed with miscibility studies

A phthalonitrile precursor 4-(3-hydroxypropylmercapto)phthalonitrile (3) was synthesized via a base-catalyzed nucleophilic aromatic nitro displacement of 4-nitrophthalonitrile with the 3-mercapto-1-propanol. A novel tetrasubstituted metal-free phthalocyanine (4) ( M = 2 H ) and its metal complexes (5–8) ( M = Zn , Ni , Cu and Co ) bearing 3-hydroxypropylmercapto moieties were prepared by the cyclotetramerization reaction of (3) with the appropriate materials. The visible spectra of the zinc(II) phthalocyanine (5) was recorded with different concentrations and different ions as Ag +, Hg 2+ and Pb 2+ in DMF and also with different solvents as dimethylformamide and pyridine. Fluorescence spectrum of the compound (5) was also studied. Temperature and frequency dependence of AC conductivity for (4–8) was investigated in air and under vacuum and were found to be ~10-8–10-5 S.m-1. Thermal properties of the phthalocyanines were examined by differential scanning calorimetry. All the novel compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, UV-vis, FT-IR, NMR and MS spectral data and DSC techniques.
