Notes:
Aromatic oligoamides of DP = 5 and 11 that have all meta-phenylene linkages were prepared by controlling the ratio of isophthaloyl chloride and diamines [m-phenylenediamine and bis(3-aminophenyl)acetylene], and then end-capped with aniline or 2-aminobiphenylene. Aromatic oligoamides having para-phenylene linkages were also prepared similarly using terephthaloyl chloride as a monomer. The oligoamides that have all m-phenylene linkages were soluble in organic solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and N,N-dimethylacetamide, though the oligoamides having p-phenylene linkages were much less soluble. The oligoamides having acetylene units in the backbone showed exotherm due to crosslinking. The onset of the exotherm appeared at 310-340°C for the oligoamides having all m-phenylene linkages, and 330-370°C for the oligoamides having p-phenylene linkages. They were melt-processed at 350 or 380°C for 1 h, giving tough and insoluble films from oligoamides having all m-phenylene linkages and brittle films from oligoamides having p-phenylene linkages. The films showed excellent thermal properties. For example, viscoelastic analyses showed little decrease of mechanical property up to 370°C, and Tg was not observed below the temperature. Thermogravimetric analyses also showed that thermal stability of the melt-processed films were excellent. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
