Abstract: 4-nitro phenyl azo resorcinol was synthesized by the coupling reaction of 4-nitro benzene diazonium chloride with resorcinol and then it was neutralized with sodium acetate. The epoxy-based monomer was synthesized by the treatment of 4-nitro phenyl azo resorcinol with epichlorohydrin and potassium carbonate in the solvent medium of acetone and refluxed for 12h. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured into water. Polymer was synthesized by the treatment of epoxy-based monomer with aniline at 1000c for 24h. The obtained oligomer was purified by triple reprecipitation form THF to hexane. The oligomer functionalization was carried out by treating the oligomer with 4-azido cinnamic acid in presence of DMAP and DCC in the solvent medium of THF
