    Synthesis and thermal characterization of novel poly(azomethine-urethane)s derived from azomethine containing phenol and polyphenol species
    (2011) Kaya I.; YIldIrIm M.; AvcI A.; KamacI M.
    Oligophenol-based poly(azomethine-urethane)s (PAMUs) were newly synthesized in two steps. At the first step, the prepolymers including the phenol and oligophenol based-Schiff bases were prepared by a condensation reaction of o-dianisidine with 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde/3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and the polycondensation reactions of the corresponding Schiff bases in an aqueous alkaline media. At the second step, the PAMUs were obtained by copolymerization of the prepolymers with toluene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI) under an argon atmosphere. The structures of the obtained compounds were confirmed by FTIR, UV-vis, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR, and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) techniques. The synthesized compounds were also characterized by TG-DTA and DSC analyses. Thermal decomposition steps at various temperatures were clarified by FTIR analyses of the degraded products. The physical changes to the synthesized PAMUs after exposing them to the thermal degradation steps are displayed. © 2011 The Polymer Society of Korea and Springer Netherlands.

    The crosslinked poly(azomethine-urethane)s containing o-hydroxyazomethine: Tunable multicolor emission, photophysical and thermal properties
    (Elsevier B.V., 2015) Kamaci M.; AvcI A.; Kaya I.
    This article presents synthesis, photophysical, electrochemical, thermal, and morphological properties of the crosslinked polyurethanes (CLPUs). CLPUs were synthesized in two main steps. In the first step, aldehyde functionalized polyurethane prepolymer was synthesized using 2,4-dihydroxy benzaldehyde and hexamethylene diisocyanates. In the second step, the prepared prepolymer was converted to the crosslinked polyurethane derivatives using different diamines via condensation reaction. Diamines with various chain length and side-group substitutions were used as crosslinker. Photophysical properties of the crosslinked polyurethanes were investigated using UV-vis and photoluminescence (PL) spectra techniques. Fluorescence measurements showed that CLPUs exhibited multicolor emission behavior. Additionally, a linear relationship is determined between the excitation energies and the obtained emission maxima and, this property allows tuning the PL color by changing the source light energy on the desired scale. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.
