Experimental data of phase equilibria are reported for the binary mixture of 1-phenyl-2-pyrrolidone in supercritical carbon dioxide. Phase behavior data was measured in a synthetic method at a temperature ranging from 333.2 to 393.2 K and at pressures up to 97.14 MPa. The solubility of 1-phenyl-2-pyrrolidone in the carbon dioxide + 1-phenyl-2-pyrrolidone system increased as temperature increased at a constant pressure and it exhibited the type-I phase behavior. The experimental data for the binary mixture were correlated with the Peng-Robinson equation of state using mixing rule and the critical properties of 1-phenyl-2-pyrrolidone were predicted with the Joback and Lyderson method.

In the preparation of anion charged asymmetric ultrafiltration membranes by the conventional phase inversion method, several variables could be adjusted to control membrane permeations. The anion charged materials and its original polymer have good solubility in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The membranes having a hydrophilic property were less fouled the membrane prepared from the original polymer. The preparation conditions, operation conditions, and hydrophilicity of polymer have played an important role in determining the permeation properties of membranes.

N,N'-(bicyclo[2,2,2]oct-7-ene-tetracarboxylic)-bis-L-amino acids 3a-g were synthesized by the condensation reaction of bicyclo[2,2,2]oct-7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic dianhydride 1 with two equimolars of Lalanine 2a, L-valine 2b, L-leucine 2c, L-isoleucine 2d, L-phenyl alanine 2e, L-2-aminobutyric acid 2f and L-histidine 2g in an acetic acid solution. Seven new poly(amide-imide)s PAIs 5a-g were synthesized through the direct polycondensation reaction of seven chiral N,N'-(bicyclo[2,2,2]oct-7-ene-tetracarboxylic)-bis-L-amino acids 3a-g with bis(3-amino phenyl) phenyl phosphine oxide 4 by two different methods: direct polycondensation in a medium consisting of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)/triphenyl phosphite (TPP)/calcium chloride ($CaCl_2$/pyridine (py), and direct polycondensation in a tosyl chloride (TsCl)/pyridine (py)/N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) system. The polymerization reaction produced a series of flame-retardant and thermally stable poly(amide-imide)s 5a-g with high yield. The resulted polymers were fully characterized by FTIR, $^1H$ NMR spectroscopy, elemental analyses, inherent viscosity, specific rotation and solubility tests. Data obtained by thermal analysis (TGA and DTG) revealed that the good thermal stability of these polymers. These polymers can be potentially utilized in flame retardant thermoplastic materials.

The diamide-diamine having carboxylic acid was prepared by direct condensation of 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic acid with bits[4- (3-aminophenoxy ) phenyl] sulfone and bits(4-aminouhenyl)-1,4- diisopropylbenzene in medium consisting of triphenylphosphite, LiCl, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. Copoly (amide-imide) derivatives with high molecular weight could be synthesized by one-step polycondensation of prepared diamide-diamine having carboxylic acid and various dianhydride compounds. Depending on the chemical structure and composition of polymer backbones, the viscosities of polymers were found to range between 0.87∼ 1.57 dL/B. All the polymers showed good thermal stability up to 320$\^{C}$ and the 10% weight loss temperature was observed in the range of 450∼540$\^{C}$ in a thermogravimetric traces. The glass transition was recorded in the temperature range of 200 ∼ 270$\^{C}$. All the polymers showed an amorphous nature on a differential scanning calorimetric thermograms. These polymers generally had good mechanical properties and readily soluble in various polar solvents. Further, it was proved that their properties could be determined from the composition.

We have fabricated organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) with highly conductive poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene : poly styrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) layer as an anode without using transparent conducting oxide (TCO), which has been modified by adding some organic solvents like sorbitol (So), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethylformamide (DMF), and ethylene glycol (EG). The conductivity of PEDOT:PSS film modified with each additive was enhanced by three orders of magnitude. According to atomic force microscopy (AFM) study, conductivity enhancement might be related to better connections between the conducting PEDOT chains. TCO-free solar cells with modified PEDOT:PSS layer and the active layer composed of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and phenyl [6,6] C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) exhibited a comparable device performance to indium tin oxide (ITO) based organic solar cells. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the organic solar cells incorporating DMSO, So + DMSO and EG modified PEDOT:PSS layer reached 3.51, 3.64 and 3.77%, respectively, under illumination of AM 1.5 (100mW/$cm^2$).
