FTIR and 1^H^-, 13^C^-, and 11^ B-NMR were utilized to characterize the obtained polymers. TGA test was conducted under nitrogen and air. It is found that the shielding effect of carborane moiety on its adjacent aromatic structures contributes to high initial decomposition temperatures, while oxygen in air has an adverse effect on the initial decomposition temperature. The oxygen can combine with polymer chain to form peroxide and hydroperoxide groups, which are more reactive during the degradation process. Besides, o-carborane-containing poly(hydroxy ethers) have high char yield at elevated temperatures. The boron atom combines with oxygen from the polymer structure or/and from air, thus to form a three-dimensional network linked with B―O―B and B―C bonds, and retain the polymer weight to a large extent.展开更多

The structures, solubilities and thermal properties of obtained polymers were investigated in detail. All of the resulting polymers were characterized by FTIR and IH-NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. All of the resulting polymers exhibited excellent solubility in common organic solvents, such as pyridine, tetrahydrofuran and m-cresol, as well as in polar organic solvents, such as N-methyl-2- pyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide. The modified polymers were obtained in quantitative yields with inherent viscosities between 0.47 and 0.67 dl·g^-1 Experimental results indicated that all the polymers had glass transition temperature between 198 ℃ and 262 ℃, the decomposition temperature at 10% weight loss between 398 ℃ and 531 ℃ under nitrogen.展开更多

This process includes the synthesis of PBT prepolymer from PTA with 1,4-butanediol (BDO) in the first step, followed by the synthesis of PBT-PTMG copolymer from PBT prepolymer with PTMG in the second step. The molecular weight, composition as well as thermal and mechanical properties of the products from the two-step melt polycondensation are compared with the properties of the PBT-PTMG from the traditional one-step melt polycondensation. When the PTMG content is low, there is only slight difference in molecular weight, composition, thermal and mechanical properties among PBT-PTMG copolymers obtained from these two methods. However, when the PTMG content is high, only the two-step strategy is able to give high molecular weight products, and the products have comparable thermal and mechanical properties with those from traditional one-step strategy using DMT as starting material.展开更多

For both complexes 1 and 2, the unsaturated five-coordinate coordination environment to the catalytic active centers (Zn2+ ions) permits the monomer insertion for the effective solution copolymerization of cyclohexene oxide and maleic anhydride. All the solution copolymerizations afford poly(ester-co-ether)s, while lower catalyst and co-catalyst concentrations are helpful for the formation of alternating polyester. Of the three co-catalysts, 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine is found to be the most efficient, while an excess thereof is detrimental for chain growth of the copolymers.展开更多
