A series of biodegradable segmented poly (ester-urethane) s were prepared by solution polymerization of poly (butylene succinate) (PBS), mesogenic diol (MD), and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). The MD content was varied from 0 to 40 mol% so that the effects of the mesogen content on the thermal and physical properties, and enzymatic degradation were examined respectively. It was found that introducing mesogen segments could increase the thermal stability and the elastic properties, while reduced the phase transition temperatures, the degree of relative crystallinity (Xc) and the enzymatic degradation rate.

A series of biodegradable segmented liquid crystalline poly(ester-urethane)s were prepared by solution polymerization of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), mesogenic diol prepolymer poly(butylene terephthaloyldioxy dibenzoates) (MD), and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). The MD content was varied from 0 to 40 mol% so that the effects of the mesogen content on the thermal and physical properties, and hydrolytic degradation were examined respectively. It was found that introducing mesogens units could increase the thermal stability and the elastic properties, while reduced the phase transition temperatures and the hydrolytic degradation rate.

A series of biodegradable segmented liquid crystalline poly(ester-urethane)s were prepared by solution polymerization of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), mesogenic diol prepolymer poly(butylene terephthaloyldioxy dibenzoates) (MD), and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). The MD content was varied from 0 to 40 mol% so that the effects of the mesogen content on the thermal and physical properties, hydrolytic degradation and morphological textures were examined respectively. It was found that introducing mesogens units could increase the thermal stability and the elastic properties, while reduced the phase transition temperatures and the hydrolytic degradation rate. The mesogenic monomer and mesogenic diol could exhibit a schlieren texture characteristic of nematics, and some of the poly(ester-urethane)s could display a grainy texture.

To investigate the biodegradability of PBS, films made of PBS were subjected to enzymatic degradation. The declining thermal stability and XRD diagrams showed that the crystallinity of PBS was reduced after degradation. SEM results confirmed that the mode of enzymatic degradation was surface corrosion. In addition, the weight loss of the material did not experience the so-called acclimation period, but showed a typical linear growth process.

This study synthesizes a series of aliphatic biodegradable poly (butylene succinate-block-1,3-propylene sebacate) (PBS-b-PPS) copolyesters by incorporation of PPS into the PBS molecular chains at various molar ratios. The effects of these compositions on the thermal properties, crystallinity and biodegradability were investigated.The PBS-b-PPS were characterized using 1H NMR, DSC and POM.Biodegradability was evaluated by enzymatic hydrolysis with a lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia. The copolyesters might be potentially useful as the biodegradable materials.

Sn-doped TiO2 nanomaterials were synthesized by sol–gel method. It was shown the phase compositions and phase transitions change with the introduction of different tin amounts (0.5–20[Formula: see text]mol.%). X-ray powder diffraction was used to study the effect of different tin amounts on the anatase–rutile phase transition. It was found that the introduction of ions increases the thermal stability of anatase modifications. The material’s photocatalytic activity was studied in reaction with a model pollutant (methylene blue) photodegradation under UV and visible light activation. The best photocatalytic properties were shown for material, which contains 5[Formula: see text]mol.% of Sn.
