Abstract

Synthesis and characterization of polyesters containing chalcone chromosphers were carried out and their properties were studied. Chalcones are 1,3-diphenyl-2-propene-1-one in which two aromatic rings linked by a three carbon α,β- unsaturated carbonyl system. Synthesis has been carried out using microwave. The MW-assisted synthesis of co-polyesters has been effected using from propane1, 3-diol and 1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol with various carboxylic acids in the presence of titanium isopropoxide as the catalyst. Microwave structural analysis and thermal properties of biodegradable diblock copolyesters were also performed. The synthesized polymers were characterized by solubility measurement and intrinsic viscosity methods. Results are presented and discussed.
