Isosorbide-based Polymethacrylates

Azocarbazole Polymethacrylates as Single-Component Electrooptic Materials.

A series of amorphous azobenzene and carbazole-containing polymers was prepared, which incorporates both electrooptic activity and photoconductivity into a single multifunctional structural unit. The polymers were cast as thin films and were shown to be suitable for photoinducing birefringence reversibly with polarized light, as well as for the inscription of photorefractive diffraction grating...

Biorenewable materials from isosorbide

As petroleum feedstocks start to dwindle, it is becoming more important to find acceptable replacements for materials made from these feedstocks. Polyurethanes have classically been synthesized from petroleum-based feedstocks, and depending on its properties, polyurethanes can be used in everything from foams, to construction plastics. In recent years there has been an increasing amount of rese...

Fabrication of Two Polyester Nanofiber Types Containing the Biobased Monomer Isosorbide: Poly (Ethylene Glycol 1,4-Cyclohexane Dimethylene Isosorbide Terephthalate) and Poly (1,4-Cyclohexane Dimethylene Isosorbide Terephthalate)

The thermal and mechanical properties of two types of polyester nanofiber, poly (1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene isosorbide terephthalate) (PICT) copolymers and the terpolyester of isosorbide, ethylene glycol, 1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol, and terephthalic acid (PEICT), were investigated. This is the first attempt to fabricate PICT nanofiber via the electrospinning method; comparison with PEICT nanofi...
