SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THERMOTROPIC COPOLYESTERS AND COPOLY (ESTER-AMIDE)S CONTAINING OXYETHYLENE-ETHER AS THE SPACER

Flexible oxyethylene-ether was introduced into the aromatic copolyesters and copoly(es-ter-amide)s to reduce the melting point of resulting polymers. The melting point was greatlyreduced to 200℃ or even lower in some cases, and the molecular weight was satisfactorilyhigh as reflected by inherent viscosity. The polymers exhibited high thermal stability and goodmechanical properties as determined by TGA and mechanical tests. The copolyester showedbetter crystallinity and liquid crystallinity than corresponding copoly(ester-amide)s with simi-lar monomer composition as reflected by POM observation and WAXD study. The meltingpoints for both copolyesters and copoly (ester-amide)s showed great dependence on the p-acetoxybenzoic acid (PAB) content in monomer composition and reached the lowest valuewhen PAB was 29 mol%.

The segmented block copoly(ether ester)s were swollen by tetrahydrofuran (THF) at 60℃and formedfibers by gel-drawing. The morphology and properties of these fibers were investigated by optical and electron microscopes, X-ray diffraction, DSC and an Instron test machine. The band structure morphology was observed in the gel-drawing fibers. The molecular chains were highly oriented as proved by X-ray diffraction data. The results indicated that the gel-drawing fibers have much better mechanical properties than those obtained otherwise. The tensile strength and elastic modulus were found to be 280 MPa and 802 MPa, repsectively. The mechanism of the gel-drawlng process was also discussed.     

SYNTHESIS AND PROPERITIES OF SHISH-KEBAB-TYPE LIQUID CRYSTALLINE POLY（p-PHENYLENE）S

Abstract The novel shish-kebab-type liquid crystalline poly（p-phenylene）s were synthesized through Suzuki coupling reaction from 2,5-bis[（4-n-alkoxyl）benzoyloxy]1,4-dibromobenzene （monomer 1） and 1,4-benzenediboronic acid bistrimethylene cyclic ester （monomer 2）. Their structure and properties were characterized by GPC, DSC, X-ray diffraction and polarizing optical microscope （POM）. It was found that the polymers turned to liquid crystalline phase above their melting point. The melting point （Tm） of the polymers decreases when the length of the alkoxy tails of the mesogenic units increases. The mesophase was identified by X-ray diffraction method. The polymers could dissolve in common organic solvents and show strong blue fluorescence. The maximum absorption bands of polymers prepared from annealed films have large red-shift due to the spontaneous orientation of the liquid crystalline side chains. The same phenomena were also observed in the fluorescence spectra.

This paper deals with the transport properties of oligomer of polythioether PSA used as moble carrier in bulk liquid membrane for gold(Ⅲ).It was found that Au(Ⅲ) can be transported by PSA from source phase to receiving phase completely under appropriate conditions and only Au(Ⅲ) can be transferred through the liquid membrane to receiving phase from a mixture of Na(I)-Cu(Ⅱ）-Au(Ⅲ）-Fe(Ⅲ）-Pt(Ⅳ） in the following system:HAuCl4-HCl(aq.)/PSA-ClCH2-CH2Cl/(NH2)2CS-HCl(aq.).The transport rate of Au(Ⅲ） depended on the concentration of carrier,the thickness of liquid membrane,the concentration of Au(Ⅲ） in source phase and the acidity of the media.     

SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF SULFONATED POLY（ARYLENE ETHER） CONTAINING TRIPHENYL METHANE MOIETIES FROM ISOCYNATE MASKED BISPHENOL

A novel sulfonated poly（arylene ether） containing triphenylmethane moieties was synthesized by the sulfonation of a designed parent polymer using chlorosulfonic acid as sulfonation agent. The sulfonation took place at the para position of the pendant phenyl rings because of the specially designed parent polymer. The position and degree of sulfonation were characterized by ^1H-NMR and elemental analysis. The sulfonated polymers are highly soluble in common organic solvents, such as dimethylsulfoxide, N,N＇-dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, and can be readily cast into tough and smooth films from solutions. The films showed good thermal and hydrolysis stabilities. Moreover, Fenton＇s reagent test revealed that the films exhibited superior stability to oxidation. The proton conductivities of the films were comparable with Nation 117 under same conditions. The membrane electrode assembly （MEA） prepared with the asmade film （706 EW, 100 μm dry thickness） shows better cell performance than Nation 115-MEA in the whole current density range.
