A new family of polyolefins containing various aryl ether units have been designed and synthesized, and their thermal properties were studied. We prepared six acyclic diene monomers di(undec-10-enyloxy)aryl ether by a two-step approach and the corresponding homopolymers and copolymers with 1,9-decadiene by ADMET. Subsequent hydrogenation gave the corresponding ethylene-co-aryl ether polymers. The structures of these polymers were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and FT-IR. Additionally, crystallization behaviors and thermal properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The results show that incorporation of these aryl ether units has improved the thermal stability of polymers. And these polymers show a tendency of semicrystallinity to amorphous state with the insertion of more rigid phenyl rings in functional sites of polymers' main chain. Interestingly, DSC analysis reveals that a sequence of melting/crystallization phenomenon occurs in the crystalline saturated homopolymers.
Side-chain polysiloxane liquid crystalline elastomers from non-mesogenic components

Synthesis and characterisation of two new azo-based polysiloxane elastomers containing non-mesogenic monomers and different cross-linkers are described. The chemical structure of the synthesised compounds was confirmed through standard analytical techniques. Remarkably, both the elastomers displayed mesophase, despite the monomer and the cross-linker being non-mesogens. The mesophase was characterised by a combination of differential scanning calorimetry, polarising optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction experiments. The X-ray diffraction studies revealed an intercalated lamellar structure for the mesophase. Interestingly, the elastomer containing biphenyl-based cross-linker showed mesophase with an extended thermal range compared to the mesophase displayed by its counterpart containing phenyl-based cross-linker. The photoisomerisation behavior of the elastomers in solution and their photoswitchable properties in the solid state have been investigated. The monodomain sample of the elastomer showed a reversible, asymmetric bending and unbending behavior upon exposure to UV and visible light respectively, with a faster response time.
Efficient synthesis of macrocyclic paracyclophanes by ring-closing metathesis dimerization and trimerization reactions

(Matrix presented) Ring-closing metathesis reactions of para-disubstituted aromatic substrates produced macrocyclic [n.n]-, and [n.n.n]paracyclophanes efficiently through dimerization and trimerization reactions. Sufficiently long alkyl chains allowed direct monocyclizations to yield [n]paracyclophanes. A small library of paracyclophanes were generated by the combinatorial cross-metathesis approach.
