Abstract
Phase transfer catalysis has been applied to the synthesis by polycondensation of polyethers, polycarbonates and polyesters, either using a liquid-liquid process (polyethers and polycarbonates) or a solid-liquid process (polyesters). The kinetics and mechanism were discussed, and the influence of several parameters such as the nature of the solvent and the stoichiometry and concentration of the reagents was investigated. It was possible to prepare polycondensates having high enough molecular weights, low polydispersities and well-controlled end groups, starting from dihalogeno compounds and diphenols (liquid-liquid system) or alkaline dicarboxylates (synthesis of polyesters). Further physico-chemical experiments were carried out with the resulting polymers. End-to-end cyclization dynamics in dilute solution was studied for a polycarbonate. Interesting thermal properties were found in the case of polyesters for which an odd-even effect was detected.
