Abstract
Summary: A novel type of glycerol‐derived, water‐soluble polycarbonate with pendant, primary hydroxyl groups was prepared from 2‐(2‐benzyloxyethoxy)trimethylene carbonate (BETC). Ring‐opening polymerization of BETC and 2,2‐dimethyltrimethylene carbonate (DTC) gave narrow distribution of homopolymers or random copolymers with high molecular weights. The protecting benzyl groups were removed by catalyzed hydrogenation at atmosphere H~2~ pressure to give hydroxyl polycarbonates without observable changes on the polymer backbone and molecular weight distribution. The hydrophilicity of the copolymers increases with the increase in the hydrophilic glycerol‐derived carbonate content.

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)
