Bio-Based Polymers Derived and Modified on Cis-1, 3,4, 6- Tetrahydrophthalimide and Its Applications

In the current work, N-substituted cis-1,3,4,6-tetra hydrophthalimide polymerized derivatives were prepared as bio-based materials. This research was carried out through the following three steps; Firstly, preparing N-alkyl cis-1,3,4,6-tetra hydrophthalamic acid by reacting of cis-1,3,4,6-tetra hydrophthalimide salt with (benzyl chloride, PVC, adipoyl chloride, co-poly vinyl acetate chloride and poly acyloyl chloride) respectively producing, N-alkyl tetra hydro phthalimide. Furthermore, the next step includes preparing N-creatinyl tetrahydro phthal imide, and followed by the polymerization step of the prepared unsaturated compounds throughutilizing (BPO) as initiator alongside the heating. Several techniques were used to characterize the prepared compounds such as recording the melting points and softening point as well as infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). However, some of the prepared compounds were characterized by using proton nuclear magnetic resonance 1HNMR and studied thermally via differential scanning calorimetric technique DSC.
