Abstract
An imide ring containing dicarboxylic acid, 1,4-bis(4-trimellitimidophenoxy)benzene (III), was prepared by the condensation of 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene and trimellitic anhydride. A series of new poly(amide-ether-imide)s were prepared by the direct polycondensation of diimide-diacid III with various aromatic diamines using triphenyl phosphite and pyridine as condensing agents inN-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) in the presence of calcium chloride. The highest inherent viscosity value of a poly(amide-ether-imide) obtained was 1.78 dL/g (inN,N-dimethylacetamide, DMAc, at 30 °C). Flexible films with excellent tensile properties were cast from DMAc solutions. Glass transition temperatures of these poly(amide-ether-imide)s were recorded in the range of 248–297 “C. These polymers do not show obvious weight loss before 400°C; the decomposition temperatures at which 10% weight loss in nitrogen and in air were observed for these poly(amide-ether-imide)s in the range of 521–564°C and 501–539°C, respectively. The polymers derived fromp-phenylenediamine or the diamines containing 1,4-bisphenoxy units exhibited a higher degree of crystallinity and higher initial decomposition temperatures but poor solubility in organic solvents.
