Oligomer evaluation, synthesis

The process known as transimidization has been employed to functionalize polyimide oligomers, which were subsequentiy used to produce polyimide—titania hybrids (59). This technique resulted in the successhil synthesis of transparent hybrids composed of 18, 37, and 54% titania. The effect of metal alkoxide quantity, as well as the oligomer molecular weight and cure temperature, were evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry (dsc), thermogravimetric analysis (tga) and saxs. 

A novel concept for the synthesis of macrocyclic peptidomimetics 262, which incorporate heteroaromatic units, was reported (Scheme 39). This method involves sequential SNAr reactions of orthogonally protected amino groups of peptides and other linear oligomers on halogenated heterocycles such as 2,4,6-trichloro[l,3,5]triazines. The scope of this novel solid-phase approach was evaluated systematically by means of the SPOT-synthesis methodology on planar cellulose membranes <2000JC0361>. 

The Effect of Amine Structure In order to evaluate the effects of eunine functionality and substitution on the crosslinking reaction/ several amine terminated urethane oligomers were synthesized by the same procedure as used in the synthesis of the LPUR. The oligomers were prepared in Urethane Grade MEX. These amines were evaluated with the allyl terminated unsaturated polyester as the unsaturation source. The composition and the properties of the oligomers are shown in Table IV. 

The synthesis of the polyimides (PI) is illustrated in Scheme 2. The polymerizations were conducted in a single "one pot" reactor, which minimizes solution transfer steps. Number average molecular weights, , of the oligomers were evaluated by end group analysis using from the integral ratio of the proton for 2AP, at... 

Block copolymer systems have aroused interest with reviews of the synthesis of nylon elastomers, thermoplastic polyether-polyamide elastomers, and thermoplastic cross-linked polyamides of 3,3 -bis(hydroxymelhyl) glutaric add. Block copolymers were also reported from poly(/n-phenylene isophthalamidc) and poly(ethylene oxide) or poly(dimethylsiloxane). The polycondensation of oco -dicarboxylic-poly(amide 11) and x -dihydroxy-polyoxyethylene has also been studied and rate constants and activation energies evaluated for the process. The polycondensation of axo -diacid and e9o> -diester-poly(amide 11) oligomers with cuco -dihydroxy-polyether oligomers has similarly been reported. Lactam Rli -opening Polymerization Routes.—The effects of ring size, substitution and the presence of heteroatoms on the polymerizability of lactams has been the subject of reviews. - In the field of lactam polymerization, two systems have evoked major interest, namely caprolactam and 2-pyrrolidone. Studies on caprolactam have reported the effect of water on the mechanism of polymerization and polymerization rate, where it was found that the process was... 

Well-defined sophorolipid biosurfactant analogs were also prepared via enzymatic synthesis for the evaluation of the bioactivity and as building blocks for the preparation of glycolipid-based polymers [107]. The direct enzymatic ring-opening polymerization of lactone sophorolipids (SLs) was carried out with lipases. The reaction proceeded with the formation of mono-acylated lactone SLs and the subsequent conversion of the intermediates to oligomers and polymers (Scheme 12) [108]. 

Florian H. Gojny - studied chemistry at the University of Hamburg, focusing on Technical and Macromolecular Chemistry. In 2001, he obtained his Diploma in Chemistry. His Diploma thesis dealt with the Synthesis and photophysical characterization of 1,4-disubstituted 2,5-phenylene-vinylene oligomers . In 2001, he moved to the Technical University Hamburg-Harburg, Polymer Composites Group and has since then successfully worked on his PhD thesis Evaluation of the potential of carbon nanotubes for a mechanical reinforcement of epoxy matrices . He presented the results of his research at numerous international conferences and already published several papers in the field of nanotube research. 

It should be noted that evaluation of synthesis performance by PAGE and HPLC is more informative than the trityl assay. On humid summer days, in particular, a significant percentage of the released trityl solutions is hydrolyzed in the collection tubes, creating the illusion of a less-than-optimal synthesis. When the oligomers of these syntheses are deblocked and analyzed (PAGE, HPLC), far better yields are obtained than would be indicated to be present by the trityl cation measurements.

It may be noted that a large number of other discotic oligomers and polymers have been realized but their conducting properties have not been evaluated and, therefore, their synthesis has also not been covered here. Interested readers may...
