Synthesis, Characterization, and Study of Thermal and Liquid Crystalline Properties of Poly(4-(6-(4-vinylphenoxy)hexyloxy)benzoic Acid)

Synthesis and self-assembly of the amphiphilic homopolymers poly(4-hydroxystyrene) and poly(4-(4-bromophenyloxy)styrene)

“…Etherification reactions utilizing the phenol functionality have been used to incorporate many desirable functionalities including electrolytes and macromolecular polymer initiators. [36][37][38][39][40][41] Halogen bonding is a non-covalent intra-or inter-molecular force defined by IUPAC in 2013 as a net attractive interaction between an electrophilic region associated with a halogen atom as a Lewis base in a molecular entity and neutral or a nucleophilic region in another, or the same, molecular entity. 42 The potential of halogen bonding is shown by useful applications in the field of synthesis of molecules, cystography, optoelectronics, and biochemistry.…”
