Item type:Publication, In situ ring-opening polymerization of hydroxyapatite/poly(ethylene adipate)-co-(ethylene terephthalate) biomimetic composites(2013-02-01); Hydroxyapatite/poly(ethylene adipate)-co-poly(ethylene terephthalate) biomaterials (HAp/PEA-co-PET) have been prepared by ring opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic oligo(ethylene adipate)-co-oligo(ethylene terephthalate) (C-OEA-co-C-OET) in the porous hydroxyapatite (HAp) scaffolds at 250 °C for 24 h under vacuum. The content of ROP-PEA-co-PET in the HAp/PEA-co-PET composite was about 20 wt% with the values of number average molecular weight (Mn) and weight average molecular weight (MW) of 3380 and 7160 g/mol, respectively. Compressive strength and modulus of the HAp/PEA-co-PET composites were about 29 and 246 MPa, respectively. These mechanical properties were higher than those of the porous HAp templates and natural cancellous bone. In vitro bioactivity of the HAp/PEA-co-PET composites was studied by soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF) under the flowing system at the rate of 130 mL/day for 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. The formation of hydroxyapatite nanocrystals was observed on the composite surfaces through the consumption of calcium and phosphorus from the SBF solution, indicating the bioactivity of these HAp/PEA-co-PET composites. These results indicated the competency of HAp/PEA-co-PET composites for biomedical applications. © Indian Academy of Sciences.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Synthesis of poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-isophthalate) via ring-opening polymerization of their cyclic oligomers(2008-10-01); Loungvanidprapa, PittayaSyntheses of poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-isophthalate) (PET-co-PEI) were achieved via ring-opening copolymerization of corresponding cyclic oligoesters. The ring-opening polymerization (ROP)-PET-co-PEI were prepared by equilibrating an equimolar amount of cyclic oligo(ethylene terephthalate) and cyclic oligo(ethylene isophthalate) using di-n-butyltin oxide catalyst under high concentration conditions at 270 and 290°C for 8 and 12 h. The copolyesters were obtained in yields of up to 91% with the inherent viscosity (η <inf>inh</inf>) of up to 2.89 dl/g indicating the drastically high molecular weight compared with the conventional and ROP routes for the synthesis of PEI. The differential scanning calorimetry data of ROP-PET-co-PEI showed the melting temperatures above 400°C indicated the potential used in high temperature application. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media B.V. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Synthesis of poly(ethylene adipate) and poly(ethylene adipate-co-terephthalate) via ring-opening polymerization(2007-08-01); Loungvanidprapa, PittayaSyntheses of poly(ethylene adipate) (ROP-PEA) and poly(ethylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (ROP-PEA-co-PET) were achieved via ring-opening polymerization of corresponding cyclic oligoesters. In case of ROP-PEA, cyclic oligo(ethylene adipate) (C-OEA) was equilibrated in the presence of di-n-butyltin oxide as a catalyst under high-concentration conditions at 180 and 200 °C for 1-24 h. The polymer products were obtained in yields up to 100% with the over(M, -)<inf>n</inf> and over(M, -)<inf>w</inf> in the ranges of 3000-23 000 g/mol and 5000-60 000 g/mol, respectively. The ROP-PEA-co-PET was prepared by equilibrating an equimolar amount of C-OEA and cyclic oligo(ethylene terephthalate) (C-OET) using di-n-butyltin oxide catalyst under high-concentration conditions at 250 °C for 24 h. The copolyester produced was obtained in yield of 97% with the over(M, -)<inf>n</inf> and over(M, -)<inf>w</inf> of 18 000 and 46 000 g/mol, respectively. <sup>1</sup>H NMR spectrum of ROP-PEA-co-PET showed two new proton signals of ethylene unit representing the existence of heterolinkage with different chemical environment in the copolymer. This indicated the random transesterification of C-OEA and C-OET resulting in random structure in copolyester. In addition, the result of ROP-PEA-co-PET from DSC showed the glass transition temperature in the values of -8 °C with no melting temperature indicating thermoplastic elastomeric behavior. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
