Six novel poly(hydrazide-imide)s (PHIa-f) were prepared from the reaction of a novel L-lysine-derived chiral diacid, ethyl L-lysine-N,N'-ditrimellitoyl diacide (1), with six synthetic dihydrazides by interfacial polycondensation. These polymers have inherent viscosities in the range of 0.23 to 0.42 dl g-1, display optical activity, and are readily soluble in polar aprotic solvents. They start to decompose (T10%) above 248 ºC and display glass-transition temperatures at 164.37-210.20 0C All of the above polymers were fully characterized by UV, FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, TGA, DSC, inherent viscosity measurement and specific rotation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
