The polymers were characterized by GPC, IR and 1H-NMR. The mechanical properties of cured films were also evaluated. The results show that the content of 1,4-units for HTPBs made by anionic polymerization reaches up to 90%. The molecular weight distribution is very narrow （〈 1.05）. The functionality of hydroxyl groups approaches 2. Compared with free radical HTPB, the elongation at break of anionic HTPB films increased by 70%, while the tensile strength remained nearly unchanged. This new HTPB can be very useful in solid propellant.展开更多

In this article, we designed and synthesized a series of 5-（2,6-dimethyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene）-1,3-diethyl-2-thioxodihydropyrimidine-4,6（1H, 5H）-dione（PD） unit based polymers（PFTDT, CZTDT, PHTDT and THTDT） for t...In this article, we designed and synthesized a series of 5-（2,6-dimethyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene）-1,3-diethyl-2-thioxodihydropyrimidine-4,6（1H, 5H）-dione（PD） unit based polymers（PFTDT, CZTDT, PHTDT and THTDT） for the first time. In these polymers, fluorene, 2,7-carbazole, phenothiazine and thiophene are employed as electron-donating groups and PD as electron-withdrawing group. TGA measurements demonstrated that these polymers possess good thermal stability（all above 377 °C）. Very broad absorption spectrum was also obtained from the polymer THTDT（300？850 nm）. CV characterization found that these polymers owned low highest occupied molecular orbital（HOMO） energy levels（？5.39 e V for THTDT, ？5.49 e V for CZTDT and ？5.78 e V for PFTDT） except for PHTDT（？5.17 e V）. The geometry and electronic properties of PFTDT, CZTDT, PHTDT and THTDT were investigated by means of theoretical calculation. All the above advantages demonstrate that PD based polymers could be candidates for electronic devices.展开更多
