Synthesis of Sulfonated Cholesterol Derivatives-Electrical, Thermal, and Optical Properties
Poly(cholesterylacrylatesulfone) (PCHAS) and poly(cholesterylacrylatesulfone-co-1-hexene)s (PCHASHs) at different ratios are synthesized from the monomer cholesteryl acrylate. The liquid crystalline phases are observed under a hot stage fitted with a polarizing optical microscope. The polysulfone and copolysulfones are characterized by FT-IR, H-1-NMR, DSC, and TGA techniques. From SEM (EDX) the qualitative amounts of elemental sulfur found in PCHAS and PCHASH11 are 2.90 weights (%) and 4.39 weights (%), respectively. The GPC data using THF as the solvent shows that the number average molecular weight of the PCHAS is 5268g/mol and the molecular weights of the PCHASHs are higher than the PCHAS.
