Abstract. Historic records of α-dicarbonyls (glyoxal, methylglyoxal), carboxylic acids (C6–C12 dicarboxylic acids, pinic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, phthalic acid, 4-methylphthalic acid), and ions (oxalate, formate, calcium) were determined with annual resolution in an ice core from Grenzgletscher in the southern Swiss Alps, covering the time period from 1942 to 1993. Chemical analysis of the organic compounds was conducted using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled to electrospray ionization high-resolution mass spectrometry (ESI-HRMS) for dicarbonyls and long-chain carboxylic acids and ion chromatography for short-chain carboxylates. Long-term records of the carbo…

On the use of PET-LCP copolymers as compatibilizers for PET/LCP blends

1996

Copolyesters of poly[ethylene terephthalate) (PET) with a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP), SBH 1:1:2, have been synthesized by the polycondensation, carried out in the melt at temperatures up to 300 degrees C of sebacic acid (S), 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl (B), and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (H) in the presence of PET. The PET-SBH copolyesters have been characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, etc., and the relationships between properties and preparation conditions are discussed. The copolyesters show a biphasic nature, which is more evident for the products synthesized with a thermal profile comprising relatively lower temperatures (220-…

Synthesis of PP-LCP graft copolymers and their compatibilizing activity for PP/LCP blends

1998

The aim of this work was the synthesis of new graft copolymers consisting of polypropylene (PP) backbones and liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) branches, to be used as compatibilizing agents for PP/LCP blends. The PP-g-LCP copolymers have been prepared by polycondensation of the monomers of a semiflexible liquid crystalline polyester (SBH 1 : 1 : 2), that is, sebacic acid (S), 4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl (B), and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (H) in the mole ratio of 1 : 1 : 2, carried out in the presence of appropriate amounts of a commercial acrylic-acid-functionalized polypropylene (PPAA). The polycondensation products, referred to as COPP50 and COPP70, having a calculated PPAA concentration of 50 and…

Crystal and Molecular Structure and Stability of Isoniazid Cocrystals with Selected Carboxylic Acids

2013

Reaction of isoniazid with benzoic acid, sebacic acid, suberic acid, and cinnamic acid results in formation of cocrystals. Two polymorphs of isoniazid–suberic acid and two polymorphs of isoniazid–cinnamic acid cocrystals were isolated. Crystal structure analysis shows the presence of a pyridine–carboxylic acid synthon in the studied cocrystals. The hydrazide group of isoniazid participates in N–H···O and N–H···N hydrogen bond formation, producing different supramolecular synthons. The stability study of isoniazid cocrystals has been performed over a 22 week period. A comparison of melting points of isoniazid–dicarboxylic acid 2:1 cocrystals shows the decrease of melting point with an increa…

Synthesis of Oxetane-Functional Aliphatic Polyesters via Enzymatic Polycondensation

2012

Synthesis, characterization, and thermal properties of a series of oxetane-functional aliphatic polyesters are investigated. The incorporation of the acid-sensitive 3,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)oxetane (BHMO) into polymers is achieved by using the enzyme CALB (Candida antarctica Lipase B) as a catalyst. This mild synthetic strategy provides well-defined, oxetane-functional polyesters. The enzymatic polycondensation allows for the synthesis of a series of aliphatic polyesters containing various ratios of the difunctional monomers sebacic acid, 1,8-octanediol, and BHMO with molecular weights between 5000–9800 g mol−1 and polydispersity indices (Mw/Mn) in the range of 1.25 and 1.92. Furthermore, cros…

Synthesis, properties and processability of a new class of semirigid liquid crystalline copolyesteramides

1995

Abstract A new family of semirigid main chain liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs), referred to as SBAN, characterized by fairly good processability and mechanical properties, and improved thermal resistance, have been synthesized by the melt polycondensation of sebacic acid (S), 4,4′-dihyhxybiphenyl (B), 4-aminobenzoic acid (A), and 2-hydroxy-6-naphthoic acid (N), in a wide range of compositions. The molar concentration of the A ahd N units, in these LCPs must be kept lower than ca 40 and 60%, respectively, in order to avoid the formation of homopolymeric blocks, which impair spinnability. The presence of A units grants the formation of hydrogen bonds between neighboring macromolecules, and …

THERMOTROPIC HOMOPOLYESTERS. IV. STUDY OF FIBER FORMATION.

1983

We report a melt spinning and viscosity study of two semiflexible homopolyesters containing both rigid and flexible segments in the repeating unit. Single filaments of the polyesters formed from 4,4′-diacetoxybiphenyl and azelaic acid (PB7) and sebacic acid (PB8), and from 4′-hydroxyphenyl-4-hydroxycinnamate and azelaic acid (C7), were spun at temperatures between 205 and 255°C. The temperature dependence of the Newtonian melt viscosity of PB7 and C7 was investigated, and a range of molecular weights was studied for PB7. The spinning parameters, fiber characteristics, and viscosity-temperature behavior are related to the type of mesophase formed. The mechanical properties of fibers spun fro…

Cyclic esters of aliphatic diacids with pyrocatechol and hydroquinone

1985

Cyclic esters of adipic acid, suberic acid and sebacic acid were prepared by reaction of the acid dichlorides and pyrocatechol or hydroquinone in benzene under high dilution conditions. While only the cyclic dimers could be obtained from hydroquinone, pyrocatechol formed cyclic monomers as well as cyclic dimers (and also a cyclic dimer with succinic acid). The structure of all compounds was confirmed by1H-NMR- and mass spectra. The crystal structures of the pyrocatechol esters were determined by single crystal X-ray analysis.
