β¦ Synopsis
To obtain water-soluble oligodepsipeptide with pendant thiol groups, the alternating co-oligomer [oligo(Glc-alt-Cys)], consisting of glycolic acid (Glc) and L- cysteine (Cys) residues as a-hydroxy acid and a-amino acid residues, respectively, was prepared by means of ring-opening homo-oligomerization of cyclo[Glc-Cys(MBzl)] and subsequent deprotection of methoxybenzyl groups. Moreover, to modify the properties of poly(lactic acid) [poly(LA)] and to introduce pendant thiol groups to poly(LA), the terpolymer of LA, Glc, and Cys {poly[LA-(Glc-Cys)]} was synthesized through ringopening and copolymerization of L-lactide with the protected cyclodepsipeptide, cyclo[Glc-Cys(MBzl)] and subsequent deprotection of methoxybenzyl groups. By changing the mol fraction of (Glc-Cys) unit, the solubility, thermal transition, degradation behavior of the modified poly(LA), and the water contact angle of its film could be varied.

New dianhydrides containing t-butyl and phenyl pendant groups have been synthesized and used as monomers, together with commercial diamines, to prepare novel polyimides. The influence of the chemical structure of the monomers on their reactivity has been studied by quantum semiempirical methods. The
Polyimides derived from a new dianhydride with p-nitrophenyl pendant groups have been synthesized and their properties compared with those of a reference series, without side groups. The polymers were obtained by combination of the novel monomer with aromatic diamines, in a two-step procedure that i
Oligomeric polyester, namely, poly(tetramethylene aspartate) (PTMA), was synthesized from D,L-aspartic acid and 1,4-butanediol by a melt-condensation technique. Polyester-metal complexes were synthesized by the reaction of PTMA with hydrated acetates of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II)
