Thirteen polyamides were synthesized by polycondensation using phosphorylation, low temperature solution and interfacial solution methods from 2, 2’-Dichloro-4, 4’-diaminoazobenzene condensed with different aliphatic diacids. These were characterised by inherent viscosity, solubility and spectral studies like UV-visible and IR. Moisture regain and dyeing properties have also been studied. TGA a...

Telechelic polyesters have successfully been synthesized with lipasecatalyzed polymerization. The produced telechelics had a high degree of difunctionalization, high purity (requiring little or no workup) and controlled degree of polymerization. The syntheses were performed in one-pot one-step reaction systems. Two different types of lipase-catalyzed polymerizations were applied – ring-opening ...
