A series of fully aromatic copolyesters based on p-acetoxybenzoic acid (p-ABA), hydroquinone diacetate (HQDA), terephthalic acid (TPA), and m-acetoxybenzoic acid (m-ABA) were prepared by a modified melt-polycondensation reaction. The copolyesters were prepared in two series in which series I is based on a two monomer system (p-ABA/m-ABA) and series II is based on a three monomer system (HQDA/TPA/m-ABA). The effect of different linear structures and kink moiety on the properties of the copolyesters were investigated systematically. The copolyesters were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, H-1-NMR, polarized optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and intrinsic viscosity measurements. It was found that the copolyesters exhibited nematic liquid-crystalline phases when the content of linear (p-ABA or HQDA/TPA) units was over 67 mol %. The melting or flow-transition temperatures were decreased with an increase of the content of kink m-ABA units. The copolyesters that contained p-ABA as linear units had a significantly higher degree of crystallinity compared to the copolyesters that contain HQDA/TPA as the linear units, implying a higher blockiness in the polymer chains as a result of the higher reactivity of the p-ABA units in the p-ABA/m-ABA system. All the copolyesters had poor solubility except the copolyesters containing at least 40 mol % of m-ABA, which were soluble in a dichloromethane/trifloroacetic acid (70:30 v/v) mixture.

Synthesis and characterization of fully aromatic thermotropic liquid-crystalline copolyesters containing m-hydroxybenzoic acid units Yerlikaya, Z; Aksoy, S; Bayramlı, Erdal (Wiley, 2001-10-01) A series of fully aromatic copolyesters based on p-acetoxybenzoic acid (p-ABA), hydroquinone diacetate (HQDA), terephthalic acid (TPA), and m-acetoxybenzoic acid (m-ABA) were prepared by a modified melt-polycondensation reaction. The copolyesters were characterized by DSC, thermogravimetric analysis, H-1 NMR, polarized optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and intrinsic viscosity measurements. The copolyesters exhibited nematic liquid-crystalline phases in a broad temperature range of about 150 degreesC, w...
Synthesis, characterization and electrochromic properties of copolymer of terephthalic acid bis-(thiophen-3-yl-methyl) thioester with thiophene Turkarslan, O; Erden, A; Sahin, E; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Informa UK Limited, 2006-01-01) Terephthalic acid bis-(thiophen-3-yl-methyl thioester) (TTMT) was synthesized via the reaction of thiophen-3-yl methanethiol with terephthaloyl dichloride. Nuclear magnetic resonance ( H-1-NMR) spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were utilized for the characterization of the monomer. Electrochemical copolymerization of TTMT with thiophene in acetonitrile/boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (AN/BFEE) (8:2, v/v) solvent mixture was realized by using tetrabutylammonium tetrafluorobor...
Synthesis and properties of thermotropic liquid crystalline copolyesters containing p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid and m-hydroxybenzoic acid units Yerlikaya, Z; Aksoy, S; Bayramlı, Erdal (Informa UK Limited, 2006-03-01) A series of copolyesters based on p-acetoxybenzoic acid (p-ABA), m-acetoxybenzoic acid (m-ABA), and p-acetoxyphenylacetic acid (p-APAA) were prepared by a modified melt polycondensation reaction. The effect of linear p-ABA structure, kink m-ABA and flexible p-APAA moiety on the properties of copolyesters were systematically investigated. The copolyesters were characterized by DSC, thermogravimetric analysis, 1 H-NMR, polarized optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and intrinsic viscosity measurements. The ...

Characterization of the resulting copolymers was performed via cyclic voltammetry, FTIR, thermal gravimetry analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrical conductivities we...
