Notes:
A series of polyamides was synthesized by the interfacial polycondensation of 1,2,3,5,6,7-hexahydrobenzo [1,2-c:4,5-c′] dipyrrole with isophthalic, terephthalic, oxydibenzoic, sebacic and adipic acid chlorides. High molecular weight polymers with inherent viscosities ranging from 0.4 to 2.3 dl/g were obtained. Polymerization with isophthaloyl chloride gave the highest molecular weight polymer in this series. These polyamides melt between 350°C and 475°C, depending on structural differences as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Rapid weight loss in these polymers was observed in the range of 350-400°C under thermogravimetric analysis in a nitrogen atmosphere. All these polyamides are susceptible to photooxidative degradation. The results were compared with Nomex polymer poly(1,3-phenylene isophthalamide).
