The fluorine-containing phthalonitrile PBDP has a low dielectric constant and an ultra-low water absorption, which is expected to be applied in electronic packaging.
A polynitrile‐based phthalonitrile monomer with a low melting point containing an alkyl center, namely, 4,4′,4′′‐ [(methanetriyltris (benzene‐4,1‐diyl)) tris (oxy)] triphthalonitrile (MDTP), is synthesized from a nucleophilic substitution reaction of 4,4′,4′′‐trihydroxytriphenylmethane and 4‐nitrophthalonitrile. The MDTP monomer is cured at different temperatures 4‐(aminophenoxy)phthalonitrile (APPH) as the curing agent to give the MDTP polymers. The MDTP monomer and polymers are characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Differential Scanning Calorimetric (DSC) analysis shows that the melting point of the monomer is 103 °C and the processing window is about 128 °C. The crosslinking degree of the resin varies with curing time and temperature, which affects the properties of resin. Its glass transition temperature (Tg) is higher than 400 °C. The resin possesses excellent thermal stability and mechanical properties. It loses 5 % weight at 511.2 °C and has a storage modulus of 1611 MPa at 400 °C.
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.
