Abstract:The direct polycondensation of a monomer derived from l-aspartic acid together with adipic acid as a modifier co-monomer with aromatic diamines was studied to synthesize co-poly(amide-imide)s (CPAIs). The relative reactivity of the co-monomers and the manner of their insertion into polymer chains were evaluated using a model reaction and 1 H NMR spectroscopy, respectively. The synthesized polymers depicted optical rotations similar to those of the monomer precursor and inherent viscosities in the range of 0.13… Show more
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.
