Preparation and characterization of thermally stable poly(amide‐urea)s functionalized with anthraquinone chromophore

Abstract

Two new diamines containing bulky anthraquinone pendant units were prepared via reactions of 1‐ and 2‐aminoanthraquinone with 3,5‐dinitrobenzoylchloride and a subsequent reduction of their nitro groups. A novel series of highly organosoluble poly(amide‐urea)s were synthesized from the reactions of the prepared diamines with various commercially available diisocyanates via a step‐growth addition reaction process in N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone (NMP). The effects of two factors (time and temperature) on the reaction were studied to optimize the conditions for the preparation of high molecular weight polymers. All poly(amide‐urea)s were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and 1H‐nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies and elemental analysis. The resulting poly(amide‐urea)s had inherent viscosities in the range of 0.54–0.73 dl/g. They exhibited excellent solubility in polar solvents. The temperature for 10% weight loss of the polymers in air was all above 285°C, their residues were more than 36% at 700°C in air, and their Tg values were in the range of 148–190°C. According to the wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD), the polymers were almost amorphous. The optical properties of poly(amide‐urea)s measured by ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy showed absorption maxima at 303–429 nm. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Poly(ether‐imide) and related sepiolite nanocomposites: investigation of physical, thermal, and mechanical properties

“…[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Much attention has been recently focused on designing new diamine and dianhydride monomers with novel molecular structures in order to induce certain features to the final PIs while maintaining their intrinsic characteristics such as outstanding thermal stability and mechanical strength. [12,13] In spite of their excellent properties, aromatic PIs have a few drawbacks in which inefficient processability is most noticeable one originating from their very high glass-transition temperature and lack of efficient solubility in common organic solvents. Much effort has been made to improve their processability via different synthetic methods such as introduction of flexible linkages or bulky side groups into the polymer backbone, reduction of molecular symmetry, and copolymerization.…”

“…7 Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in air at a heating rate of 10°C/min is usually applied for the evaluation of thermal stability. [19][20][21][22] Thermal stability of the samples was investigated by thermo-gravimetric as shown in Figure 4. In general, the TGA curve of the pure PANI shows threestep weight loss process.…”

“…For example, Liaw et al [12] reviewed organosoluble PIs; Sroog [13] reviewed aromatic and heterocyclic PIs; Mehdipour-Ataei and Bahri-Laleh reviewed pyridine units containing PIs [14], and PI electrochemical properties have been reviewed by Viehbeck and Kovac [15].…”
