Abstract: | Two diamine monomers, 4,4′-sulfonylbis(1,4-phenyleneoxy)]dianiline (III
a
) and 4,4′-sulfonylbis(2,6-dimethyl-l,4-phenyleneoxy)]dianiline (III
b
), were prepared by an aromatic nucleophilic substitution of 4,4′-sulfonyldiphenol (I
a
) and 4,4′-sulfonylbis(2,6-dimethylphenol) (I
b
) with p-chloronitrobenzene in the presence of potassium carbonate, followed by hydrazine catalytic reduction of the intermediate
dinitro compounds. The diamines III
a
and III
b
were used as monomers with various aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides (IV
a–f
) to synthesize polyimides. The polymerization was conducted in two steps via the formation of a poly(amic acid) precursor
followed by thermal cyclodehydration. The poly(amic acid)s had inherent viscosities above 0.87 and up to 2.56 dL/g. Most poly(amic
acid)s could be coated and thermodehydrated into flexible and transparent polyimide films. The polyimides derived from the
dianhydrides containing-O-and-SO2-or-C(CF3)2-bridging groups between the phthalic anhydride units were soluble in some organic solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the polyimides were in the range from 254 to 300 °C. The methyl-substituted polyimides exhibited slightly higher solubility
and higher Tg compared to the corresponding unsubstituted polyimides. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG) showed that the polyimides containing
methyl substitutents started to lose weight around 450 °C and the unsubstituted ones started to lose weight around 550 °C. |
