In this reaction we were able to form both substituted and unsubstituted cyclic imides through two condensation reactions of the cyclic anhydride and the glutamic acid moieties, respectively.
A sampling of topics includes: chemoselective reduction of amides and imides, hydrogen bonds as an alternative activation, and synthesis and application of macrocycles using dynamic combinatorial chemistry.
Topics include heteroatom-containing conjugated polymers, polyether imides for high performance materials and siloxane-containing LCPs.
Although styrene maleic anhydridye (SMA) copolymers are used today as sizing agents, little research has been carried out on some new styrene maleimide resins, or SMA imides. Relatively inexpensive, SMA imide resins can be dissolved easily and can be used in the headbox.
Fiber diameters are between 1 and 1000 nm, and the functional groups range from aldehydes to imides. The fibers can include polyester resins and polythiophenes.
