A carbazole-based conjugated polymer bearing ruthenium complexes Pbpy(Ru)-Cz was synthesized aiming to obtain a material with dual functionalities of both light absorption and hole-transport for photovoltaic cells. Chemical structures of the monomers and polymers were confirmed by ¹H NMR, IR, and elemental analysis. Pbpy(Ru)-Cz showed good thermal stability and solubility. The absorption spectrum of Pbpy(Ru)-Cz showed a broader peak covering the wavelength range from 380 to 650 nm. Preliminary photovoltaic behavior was evaluated by fabricating photovoltaic cells. As measured under a 55 mW cm‾² compact white arc lamp, Voc, Jsc, FF and ηe of the device ITO/Pbpy(Ru)-Cz:PCBM/Al were 0.18 V, 0.019 mA cm‾², 0.22 and 1.40×10‾³%, pectively.

ABSTRACTWe report the synthesis and characterization of a novel series of aryl-substituted PPVs, which have shown excellent processability, good thermal stability, high photoluminescence quantum efficiency and low content of structural defects. The substituents of the polymers were designed with different degree of hindrance effect on the main chain. 1H NMR measurement indicates that the defect structure in the polymer main chain can be effectively depressed by introducing bulk and hindrance substituents.

A novel intumescent flame retardant (IFR) containing ferrocene and caged bicyclic phosphate groups, 1-oxo-4-[4'-(ferrocene carboxylic acid phenyl ester)] amide-2, 6, 7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo- [2.2.2] octane (PFAM), was successfully synthesized. The synthesized PFAM were added to flammable polyurethane (PU) as flame retardants and smoke suppressants. The structure of PFAM was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and elemental analysis. Thermal stability of PFAM was tested by themogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results revealed that PFAM had good thermal stability and high char weight, the char weight up to 54% at 600 °C. Flammability properties of PU/PFAM composites were investigated by limiting oxygen index (LOI) test and UL-94 test, respectively. The results of LOI tests showed that the addition of PFAM enhanced flame retardancy of PU. When the content of PFAM reaches to 3%, the LOI value is 22.2. The morphologies of the char for PU and PU/3% PFAM composite can be obtained after LOI testing were examined by SEM. The results demonstrated that PFAM could promote to form the compact and dense intumescent char layer. Experiments showed that, the PFAM application of polyurethane showed positive effect.

A new diamine containing an imidazole structure, 4,4′-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazole-1,2-diyl)dianiline (DIMA), was synthesized to prepare photoconductive polyimides (PIs) with four types of dianhydrides such as 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride, 4,4′-oxyduphthalic anhydride, 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride, and cyclobutane-1,2,3,4,-tetracarboxylic dianhydride, based on the fact that the imidazole ring is a useful n-type block with high electron-donating property and good thermal stability. The imidazole-containing diamine possesses high electron-donating properties due to the lone pair electrons at nitrogen, which affords a high hole-transport property. All the PIs prepared from DIMA were amorphous due to the large side group and kink structure of the diamine, optically transparent (transmittances of 92–98% at 450 nm), and exhibited high thermal stability (10% weight loss temperatures ranged 453–558°C).

Abstract Copolymerization of 5-norbornene-2-metheneoxy-trimethylsilyl [NB-CH2OSi(CH3)3] with norbornene (NB) or methyl 5-norbornene-2-carboxylate (NB-COOCH3) was carried out in toluene by using novel nickel(II) complex catalyst systems, Ni(benzocyclohexan-ketonaphthylimino)2/B(C6F5)3 [Ni(bchkni)2/B(C6F5)3]. The catalyst system showed high activity on the copolymerization of NB-CH2OSi(CH3)3 with NB (2.3–3.3×104 gpolymer/molNi·h) and NB-CH2OSi(CH3)3 with NB-COOCH3(0.5–3.0×104 gpolymer/molNi·h). However, the solubility of copolymers of NB-CH2OSi(CH3)3 with NB and NB-CH2OSi(CH3)3 with NB-COOCH3, which contain 18.7–86.7 mol% of NB-CH2OSi(CH3)3, was too poor to characterize. The achieved copolymers were confirmed to be vinyl-addition copolymers through the analysis of FTIR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectra. The incorporation rate was 8.7–86.7 mol% at a content of 10–90 mol% of the NB-CH2OSi(CH3)3 in the monomer feeds ratios. The obtained ester functionalized NB copolymer containing 8.7–18.7 mol% of NB-CH2OSi(CH3)3 showed a moderate molecular weight (Mw=1.6–6.0×104 g/mol) and relative narrow molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn=1.6–2.2). Thermogravimetry (TGA) analyses results showed that the copolymers exhibited good thermal stability (Td=330–350°C) and were noncrystalline by WAXD analyses results.

N-substituted metal-coordinated cross-linking polybenzimidazole pyridine sulfone, as novel class of high-performance functional polymers, has been obtained by the coordination of N-substituted polybenzimidazole pyridine sulfone (Py-N-PBIS) ligand with varying content of metallic ion (Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+). The structures of the polymers are characterized by means of fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy, the results show good agreement with the proposed structures. Thermogravimetric analysis measurements exhibit that the metal coordination polymers possess good thermal stability with high thermal decomposition temperature (thermally stable up to 405–510°C). More importantly, the thermal decomposition temperature of Py-N-PBIS-(Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+) can be nondestructively detected by taking advantage of the fluorescence quenching effect of metal coordination to 2,6-Bis(2-benzimidazolyl)pyridine structure.

In this work, several bio-based main-chain type benzoxazine oligomers (MCBO) were synthesized from eugenol derivatives via polycondensation reaction with paraformaldehyde and different diamine. Afterwards, their chemical structures were confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-NMR). The curing reaction was monitored by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and FT-IR. The polybenzoxazine films were prepared via thermal ring-opening reaction of benzoxazine groups without solvent, and their thermodynamic properties, thermal stability, and coating properties were investigated in detail. Results indicated that the cured films exhibited good thermal stability and mechanical properties, showing 10% thermal weight loss (Td10%) temperature as high as 408 °C and modulus at a room temperature of 2100 MPa as well as the glass transition temperature of 123 °C. In addition, the related coatings exhibited high hardness, excellent adhesion, good flexibility, low moisture absorption, and outstanding solvent resistance.

Six new bismaleimides (BMIs) having arylidene or cardo cycloaliphatic internal moieties were prepared by reacting 4-maleimidobenzoyl chloride with various arylidene or cardo bisphenols. The structures of BMIs were confirmed using elemental analysis data and spectroscopic (IR, 1H-NMR) characterizations. Two poly(aminoaspartimide)s (PAAs) were synthesized to exemplify one of the post-reaction abilities of the BMIs. Thermotropic liquid crystalline behavior was observed by differential scanning calorimetry and polarized light microscopy. The thermal stability of BMIs and PAAs was determined by thermogravimetric analysis and they showed good thermal stability except BMI 10, containing a cyclopentanone unit, which decomposed around 235°C. In this paper, we discuss the synthesis and characterization of these materials.

TGA measurements exhibited that the crosslinking polymers possessed good thermal stability with high thermal decomposition temperatures (thermally stable up to 405-510 °C). Additionally, the thermal stability of the coordination polymers was improved constantly with the increasing of the content of Co2+, Ni2+ or Zn2+. The metal coordination crosslinking N-substituted polybenzimidazole pyridine sulfone could be considered as a novel high performance thermoset.

AbstractA series of thermotropic liquid crystalline poly(amide imide)s (PAIs) with well-defined structure were prepared by the Yamazaki-Higashi phosphorylation method. To obtain the target polymers, several diimide diacid monomers (DIDAs) as mesogenic units were synthesized by the dehydration cyclization of aromatic anhydride with aliphatic 11-aminoundecanoic acid (AU). The chemical structure of these DIDAs and PAIs was confirmed via Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy. Thermotropic liquid crystalline characteristics of the DIDAs and PAIs were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing light microscopy (PLM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Encouragingly, all of these liquid crystalline PAIs exhibited good thermal stability, in which the decomposition temperatures are much higher than the melting temperatures of PAIs. Furthermore, the liquid crystalline PAIs can be dissolved into some common solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and m-cresol, which indicates these liquid crystalline PAIs could be processed not only by melting-processing but also by solution spin-coating.
