Cyclohexene oxide (CHO) and phthalic anhydride (PA) have been reacted in the presence of commercial salen–type complexes with different metals Cr (1), Al (2), and Mn (3) in combination with 4-(dimethylamino) pyridine (DMAP), bis-(triphenylphosphorydine) ammonium chloride (PPNCl) and bis-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium azide (PPNN3) as co-catalysts to obtain alternating poly(PA-alt-CHO)s by ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP). The effect of different reaction conditions (pre-contact between catalyst and co-catalyst, polymerization time) on the productivity, molecular weight and glass transition temperature has been evaluated. By using a 24 h pre-contact, the aliphatic polyesters obtained were characterized by high molecular weight (Mn > 15 kg/mol) and glass transition temperature (Tg) up to 146 °C; the more sustainable metals Al and Mn in the presence of PPNCl give comparable results to Cr. Moreover, biodegradability data of these polyesters and the study of the microstructure reveal that the biodegradability is influenced more by the type of chain linkages rather than by the molecular weight of the polyesters.

As part of a programme to develop high-performance/high-temperature structural resins for aeronautical applications, imide oligomers containing pendent and terminal phenylethynyl groups were prepared, characterized and the cured resins evaluated as composite matrices. The oligomers were prepared at a calculated number-average molecular weight of 5000 g mol−1 and contained 15–20 mol% pendent phenylethynyl groups. In previous work, an oligomer containing pendent and terminal phenylethynyl groups exhibited a high glass transition temperature (∼313 °C), and laminates therefrom exhibited high compressive properties, but processability, fracture toughness, microcrack resistance and damage tolerance were less than desired. In an attempt to improve these deficiencies, modifications in the oligomeric backbone involving the incorporation of 1,3-bis(3-aminophenoxy)benzene were investigated as a means of improving processability and toughness without detracting from the high glass transition temperature and high compressive properties. The amide acid oligomeric solutions were prepared in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and were subsequently processed into imide powder, thin films, adhesive tape and carbon fibre prepreg. Neat resin plaques were fabricated from imide powder by compression moulding. The maximum processing pressure was 1.4 MPa and the cure temperature ranged from 350 to 371 °C for 1 h for the mouldings, adhesives, films and composites. The properties of the 1,3-bis(3-aminophenoxy)benzene modified cured imide oligomers containing pendent and terminal phenylethynyl groups are compared with those of previously prepared oligomers containing pendent and terminal phenylethynyl groups of similar composition and molecular weight.

Some properties (enthalpy of formation, glass transition temperature and rheological parameters) of hyperbranched polyglycidol derivatives containing nitrate and azide functional groups were investigated. The dependence of the found properties on the molecular weight, composition and structure of the investigated substances was determined.
