Abstract:A series of novel polyesters containing conjugated diacetylenes (DA‐polyesters) were prepared from various diacetylene diols with/without methyl side groups and isomers of aromatic acid chlorides via an interfacial condensation. A fully aliphatic DA‐polyester was also prepared for comparison. All synthesised DA‐polyesters are soluble in m‐cresol, and the intrinsic viscosities were measured. In addition, compact and coherent films and sheets can be obtained from some of the polymers via solution or melt casting… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
