Notes:
A rigid rod polyimide derived from biphenyldianhydride (BPDA) and p-phenylenediamine (PDA) was modified by the incorporation of diamines containing performed phenylquinoxaline and aryl ether linkages, and the morphology and mechanical properties of the resulting imide-aryl ether phenylquinoxaline copolymers were investigated. These phenylquinoxaline containing diamines, 1, 4-bis[6-(3-aminophenoxy)-3-phenyl-2-quinoxalinyl] benzene and 1, 4-bis[6-(4-aminophenoxy)-3-phenyl-2-quinoxalinyl] benzene, were prepared by a novel nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of 1,4-(6-fluoro-3-phenyl-2-quinoxalinyl) benzene with either 1, 3- or 1, 4-aminophenol in the presence of K2CO3, respectively. The diamines were utilized as co-monomers with BPDA and PDA to synthesize poly(amicacids.) Films were cast and cured (350°C) to effect imidization, affording films which showed high elongations and moduli. The copolymers with high phenylquinoxaline compositions displayed Tg's in the 300°C range, and the thermal stability of the copolymers was comparable to that of the parent polyimide. The copolymers also showed improved auto- or self-adhesion, particularly those which showed a Tg, allowing sufficient molecular motion for interdiffusion.
