Synopsis Of Ph.d Work:
In past two decades both the dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers (HBPs) have attained increased interest due to their unique structure and unusual properties. The dendrimers are monodisperse [Degree of branching (DB) =1] and highly symmetrical while, the HBPs are polydispersity [DB<1], and unsymmetrical. The synthesis of dendrimer is quite tedious job and requires several protection and deprotection steps as well as extensive purifications between the successive generations. Their synthesis is not only expensive, but also restrictive for the use in material-consuming applications due to the lower yields. The difficulty in synthesis of dendrimers has made the use of HBPs, as the only solution of using branched architecture in a cost-effective way to produce polymers for large scale applications. HBPs possesses properties almost similar to that of dendrimers such as; highly branched structure, large number of reactive end groups, excellent flow and processing characteristics due to lower amount of inter or intramolecular entanglements and globular structure. Thus, HBPs were chosen as unique alternative with almost similar properties to that of dendrimers. The lower viscosity at high molecular weight of these HBPs is an important criteria for the development of High solid coatings with improved properties.
In my doctoral research, I have prepared different aromatic and aliphatic hydroxyl terminated hyperbranched polyester polyols (HBPs) and used those as precursors for the synthesis of hyperbranched polyurethane (HBPU)-urea, HBPU-imide, HBPU-urea/o-clay, HBPU-imide/o-clay and HBPU-urea-imide/o-clay-silica hybrid coatings by using different methodologies. The different methodologies are described below.
Methodology : Moisture curable HBPU coatings
Methodology : Different chain extender based HBPU coatings
Methodology : Inorganic-organic hybrid coatings based on o-clay
Methodology : APTMS grafted o-clay based inorganic-organic hybrid coatings
Methodology : HBPU-urea coating using click chemistry
Methodology : High Sold UV curable & Water-borne Coating
