Title: Synthesis of Polyacrylate‐Based Chalcone Containing Different Donor Moieties and Studies on their Optical, Electrochemical, and Thermal Properties.
Authors: Selvam, R.; Subramanian, K.
Abstract: Abstract: Four novel metal‐free acrylate polymers were synthesized via free radical polymerization using AIBN, in which a phenyl‐chalcone‐phenyl unit was connected with donor moieties such as fluorene, indole, anthracene, and benzophenone along with an acrylic acid group. The molecular weights of the polymers (P1–P4) were determined by gel permeation chromatography and their molecular structures were confirmed by FT‐IR, 1H‐NMR and 13C‐NMR spectroscopy. The polymers were studied for their thermal properties by using DSC and thermo gravimetric analysis, which showed glass transition temperature (Tg,°C) in the range of 140–165°C. The relationship between molecular structure and optoelectronic properties of the synthesized polymers were investigated by UV–Visible, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
