Aromatic diamine monomer viz., 4-(4'-aminophenoxy)-2-pentadecylbenzenamine containing pendant pentadecyl chain was synthesized starting from cashew nut shell liquid - a renewable resource material and was characterized by FTIR, (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy. A series of new (co) polyazomethines containing pendant pentadecyl chains and flexibilizing ether linkages was synthesized by polycondensation of 4-(4'-aminophenoxy)-2-pentadecyl benzenamine with commercially available aromatic dialdehydes viz., terephthaldehyde (TPA), isophthaldehyde (IPA) and varying mixture of TPA and IPA. Inherent viscosities and number average molecular weights of (co) polyazomethines were in the range 0.50-0.70 dL/g and 10,490-40-800 (GPC, polystyrene standard), respectively indicating formation of medium to reasonably high molecular weight polymers. (Co) polyazomethines containing pendant pentadecyl chains were found to be soluble in common organic solvents such as chloroform, dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, pyridine, m-cresol and could be cast into transparent and stretchable films from their solution in chloroform. (Co) polyazomethines were essentially amorphous in nature and the formation of loosely-developed layered structure was observed arising from the packing of pendant pentadecyl chains. Polyazomethines exhibited glass transition temperatures (T(g)) in the range 21-48 degrees C. The observed depression of glass transition temperature could be ascribed to the ``internal plasticization'' effect of pentadecyl chains. The temperature at 10% wt loss (T(10)), determined from TGA in nitrogen atmosphere of polyazomethines were in the range 434-441 degrees C indicating their good thermal stability.

Aromatic polyesters are of considerable interest because of their excellent mechanical properties, chemical resistance and thermal stability. However, most aromatic polyesters are difficult to process due to their high glass transition temperatures coupled with their insolubility in common organic solvents. The present article describes a series of organosoluble polyesters and copolyesters based on 1,1,1-[bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4'-pentadecylphenyl]ethane. A series of new aromatic polyesters containing pendant pentadecyl chains was synthesized by interfacial polycondensation of 1,1,1-[bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4'-pentadecylphenyl]ethane with terephthalic acid chloride (TPC), isophthalic acid chloride (IPC) and a mixture of TPC and IPC. A series of copolyesters was synthesized from 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol with TPC by incorporating 1,1,1-[bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4'-pentadecylphenyl]ethane as a comonomer. Inherent viscosities of the polyesters and copolyesters were in the range 0.72-1.65 dL g(-1) and number-average molecular weights were in the range 18 170-87 220. The polyesters and copolyesters containing pendant pentadecyl chains dissolved readily in organic solvents such as chloroform, dichloromethane, pyridine and m-cresol and could be cast into transparent, flexible and apparently tough films. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction data revealed the amorphous nature of the polyesters and copolyesters. The formation of loosely developed layered structure was observed due to the packing of pendant pentadecyl chains. The temperature at 10% weight loss, determined using thermogravimetric analysis in nitrogen atmosphere, of the polyesters and copolyesters containing pendant pentadecyl chains was in the range 400-460 degrees C. The polyesters and copolyesters exhibited glass transition temperatures in the range 63-82 degrees C and 177-183 degrees C, respectively. (C) 2010 Society of Chemical Industry

Poly(ether ether ketone)s and poly(ether ether ketone ketone) s containing pendant pentadecyl chains were synthesized by polycondensation of each of the two bisphenol monomers viz, 1,1,1-[bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4'-pentadecylphenyl] ethane and 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-pentadecyl cyclohexane with activated aromatic dihalides namely, 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone, and 1,3-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl) benzene in a solvent mixture of N,N-dimethylacetamide and toluene, in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate. Polymers were isolated as white fibrous materials with inherent viscosities and number average molecular weights in the range 0.70-1.27 dL g(-1) and 76,620-1,36,720, respectively. Poly(ether ether ketone) s and poly(ether ether ketone ketone) s were found to be soluble at room temperature in organic solvents such as chloroform, dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, and pyridine and could be cast into tough, transparent, and flexible films from their solutions in chloroform. Wide angle X-ray diffraction patterns exhibited a broad halo at around 2 theta = similar to 19 degrees indicating that the polymers containing pentadecyl chains were amorphous in nature. In the small-angle region, diffuse reflections of a typically layered structures resulting from the packing of pentadecyl side chains were observed. The temperature at 10% weight loss, obtained from TG curves, for poly(ether ether ketone) s and poly(ether ether ketone ketone) s were in the range 416-459 degrees C, indicating their good thermal stability. A substantial drop in glass transition temperatures (68-78 degrees C) was observed for poly(ether ether ketone) s and poly(ether ether ketone ketone) s due to ``internal plasticization'' effect of flexible pendant pentadecyl chains.

4-(4-(4-(4-Aminophenoxy)-2-pentadecylphenoxy)phenoxy)aniline (APPPA) was synthesized starting from cashew nut shell liquid-derived bisphenol, i.e. 4-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)-3-pentadecylphenol, by nucleophilic substitution reaction with 4-chloronitrobenzene followed by reduction of the formed 4-(4-nitrophenoxy)-1-(4-(4-nitrophenoxy)phenoxy)-2-pentadecylbenzene. Three new polyetherimides containing multiple ether linkages and pendent pentadecyl chains were synthesized by one-step high-temperature solution polycondensation of APPPA in m-cresol with three aromatic dianhydrides, i.e. 3,3,4,4-oxydiphthalic anhydride, 4,4-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride and 3,3,4,4-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride. Inherent viscosities and number-average molecular weights of the polyetherimides were in the ranges 0.66-0.70 dLg(-1) and 17100-29700gmol(-1) (gel permeation chromatography, polystyrene standards), respectively, indicating the formation of reasonably high molecular weight polymers. The polyetherimides were soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform, dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, pyridine, m-cresol, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone and dimethylsulfoxide, and could be cast into transparent, flexible and tough films from their solutions in chloroform. The polyetherimides exhibited glass transition temperatures (T-g) in the range 113-131 degrees C. The lowering of T-g could be attributed to the combined influence of flexibilizing ether linkages and pentadecyl chains which act as packing-disruptive' groups. The temperature at 10% weight loss (T-10), determined from thermogravimetric analysis in nitrogen atmosphere, was in the range 460-470 degrees C demonstrating good thermal stability. The virtues of solubility and large gap between T-g and T-10 mean that the polyetherimides containing pendent pentadecyl chains have possibilities for both solution as well as melt processability.

A new triarylamine-containing diamine, viz. 4, 4'-diamino-4 `' pentadecyltriphenylamine was synthesised starting from cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) - a non-edible by-product of cashew processing industry. Three new partially bio-based triarylamine-containing polyimides were synthesised by one-step high temperature solution poly-condensation of 4, 4'-diamino-4 `' pentadecyltriphenylamine with aromatic dianhydrides, namely, 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA) and 4,4'-(hexa-fluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride (6-FDA). Polyimides were determined to be of reasonably high molecular weights as inherent viscosity and number average molecular weights (M-n, Polystyrene standard) values were in the range 0.54-0.60 dL g(-1) and 26,800-43,500 g mol(-1), respectively. Polyimides exhibited excellent solubility in common organic solvents and film-forming nature along with reasonably good thermal properties as indicated by temperature for 10% weight loss (T-10) and glass transition temperatures (T-g) which were in the range 418-447 and 165-225 degrees C, respectively. The optical and electrochemical band-gap values were in the range of 1.95-1.98 eV and 1.671-1.745 eV, respectively. Among triarylamine-containing polyimide devices, BPDA-based device showed acceptable current-voltage and non-volatile memory properties such as the endurance of 500 cycles and 1000 s of retention time. The conduction mechanism developed in the memory devices was also explored and was found to follow Ohmic and Schottky conduction mechanisms.
