General description

Terephthaloyl chloride is a highly reactive acid chloride derived from terephthalic acid. It is used as a cross-linking agent in polymer synthesis. Terephthaloyl chloride undergoes condensation reaction with difunctional α,ω-diaminopolystyrene to yield chain-extended polystyrene containing amide bonds along the polymer backbone. It undergoes interfacial reaction with bovine serum albumin to form thin cross-linked films.

Application

Terephthaloyl chloride was used in the synthesis of liquid crystalline thermosets by thermal cyclotrimerization of dicyanate compounds of ring substituted bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) terepthalates.

Oil-containing polyterephthalamide microcapsules were synthesized by the interfacial polymerization of an oil-soluble monomer (terephthaloyl dichloride, TDC) and a mixture of two water-soluble monomers (diethylenetriamine, DETA, and 1, 6-hexamethylenediamine, HMDA). The influence of several synthesis parameters (e.g. concentration ratio of the

Combining polymers with small amounts of stiff carbon-based nanofillers such as graphene or graphene oxide is expected to yield low-density nanocomposites with exceptional mechanical properties. However, such nanocomposites have remained elusive because of incompatibilities between fillers and polymers that are
