The formation of polymer-cyclodextrin inclusion compounds of polycarbonate (PC), poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(vinylacetate) (PVAc) guests with host gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD) have been successfully achieved. Coalesced bulk polymer samples were obtained by removal of gamma-CD from their inclusion compounds (ICs). The chemical and crystalline structures of ICs and coalesced PC, PMMA and PVAc were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). The thermal transitions, thermal stability, and degradation mechanisms of the samples were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and direct insertion probe pyrolysis mass spectrometry (DIP-MS). FTIR findings indicated that the chain conformations of the bulk polymers were altered when they were included inside the CD channels and extended chain conformations were retained when coalesced from their ICs. Significant improvements were observed in the thermal transitions observed for the coalesced polymers, with glass transitions shifted to higher temperatures. The TGA results reveal that the thermal stabilities of coalesced polymers increased slightly compared to the corresponding as-received polymers. The DIP-MS observations indicated that the thermal stability and degradation products of the polymers are affected once the polymers chains are included inside the gamma-CD-IC cavities.

Thermal degradation of polycarbonate, poly(vinyl acetate) and their blends
Uyar, Tamer; Tonelli, Alan E.; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2006-12-01)
We have recently developed a novel approach for intimately mixing thermodynamically incompatible polymers, which utilizes the formation of inclusion compounds (ICs) formed with host cyclodextrins (CDs), followed by removal of CD and coalescence of the common guest polymers into a blend. In this paper direct insertion probe pyrolysis mass spectrometry (DIP-MS) analyses of polycarbonate (PC), poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) and PC/PVAc blends, obtained by coalescence from their inclusion compounds formed with host...
Intimate blending of binary polymer systems from their common cyclodextrin inclusion compounds
Uyar, Tamer; Rusa, Cristian C.; Wang, Xingwu; Rusa, Mariana; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Tonelli, Alan E. (2005-09-15)
A procedure for the formation of intimate blends of three binary polymer systems polycarbonate (PC)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), PC/poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) and PMMA/PVAc is described. PC/PMMA, PC/PVAc, and PMMA/PVAc pairs were included in gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD) channels and were then simultaneously coalesced from their common gamma-CD inclusion compounds (ICs) to obtain intimately mixed blends. The formation of ICs between polymer pairs and gamma-CD were confirmed by wide-angle X-ray diffract...
Thermal degradation processes of poly(carbonate) and poly(methyl methacrylate) in blends coalesced either from their common inclusion compound formed with γ-cyclodextrin or precipitated from their common solution
Uyar, Tamer; Oguz, Gulcan; Tonelli, Alan E.; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2006-10-01)
Direct insertion probe pyrolysis mass spectrometry (DIP-MS) analyses of a PC/PMMA blend, coalesced from their common inclusion compound (ICs) formed with host gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD) through removal of the gamma-CD host, and a physical PC/PMMA blend, precipitated from their common solution, have been performed and compared with those of the coalesced and as-received homopolymers. A slight increase in the thermal stability of the PMMA component in the presence of PC was recorded both by TGA and DIP-MS ...
Studies towards synthesis of urea containing helical polymers
Çalışgan, Gizem; Akdağ, Akın; Doğan, Özdemir; Department of Chemistry (2016)
This thesis deals with design and synthesis of chiral polyurea type polymers. These polymers were analyzed with molecular mechanics that they could take a helical form. The polymers are polyurea type polymers and ureas are synthesized by treating isocyanates with amines. Starting from tartaric acid, ((4S,5S)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3- dioxolane-4,5diyl)dimethaneamine was synthesized. The other diamine was naturally occuring L-lysine. These diamine functionalized compounds were treated with pphenylene diisocyanate sy...
Pyrolysis mass spectrometry analysis of poly(vinyl acetate), poly(methyl methacrylate) and their blend coalesced from inclusion compounds formed with γ-cyclodextrin
