Various types of poly(nitroarylates) (8–17) were prepared using interfacial polycondensation (IPC) and solution polycondensation (SPC) of 5‐nitroiso‐phthaloyl chloride (la) and 2‐nitroterephthaloyl chloride (2a) with different bisphenols: hydroquinone (3), resorcinol (4), 4.4′‐dihydroxydiphenyl (5), 2,2‐bis(4‐hydroxyphenyl) propane (6) and bis(4‐hydroxyphenyl) sulfone (7). A nitro group was introduced in the polymeric chain in order to improve the properties, solubility and thermal stability of these polymers. Some of the factors affecting the IPC were studied, such as the effect of concentration of the initial components and the role of the solvent. The structures of the poly(nitroarylates) (8–17) were confirmed by elemental analysis, infrared and proton magnetic resonance spectrometry. Thermomechanical analysis (TMA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the synthesized polymers were also studied.
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.
