Thermal and Dielectric Properties of Novel Chitosan-Derived Polymers
摘要
E)−3-benzyleidene amino chitosan (CHI-ph) and 2,4-dihydroxy-E)−3-benzyleidene amino chitosan (CHI-OHph) were synthetized by the reaction of chitosan with benzaldehyde and 2,4-dihydroxy–benzaldehyde, respectively. The chemical structures of the formed polymers were characterized by FTIR and microanalysis. FTIR confirmed the chemical structure of the new polymers (CHI-ph and CHI-OHph). The x-ray diffraction measurements confirmed the amorphous nature of chitosan and its derived polymers. The thermal stability of chitosan and its derived polymers were investigated using TGA and DSC measurements. TGA analysis showed that polymers are stable from room temperature up to 373 K. The dielectric constants and
