ABSTRACTA series of highly conductive, environmentally and thermally stable polyanilines was synthesized. These polymers, which are obtained by employing careful synthetic conditions, purification procedures, and dopant variations, show interesting morphological structures and high temperature stability. Thermal studies by TGA, DSC and DMTA show a glass transition temperature (Tg) for neutral polyaniline around 185°C. This is the same temperature at which the conductivity and crystallinity decrease. Isothermal heatings of the polyaniline tosylate at 200 and 250°C in air show significant amounts of weight loss. This is due to dopant loss through irreversible chain rearrangements and air oxidation at temperatures above Tg.

Two novel polyimides(PIs) were polymerized from 1,4-bis((4-amino-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)methyl)cyclohexane, with aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides using the typical one-step method. The inherent viscosity of the PIs were around 0.90dL/g, and they exhibited an excellent solubility and optical property. They were readily soluble not only in some strong polar solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), but also in some low-boiling-point solvents such as chloroform (CDCl3), and tetrahydrofuran (THF). The PIs film showed high optical transparency and colorless with cut-off wavelength in 332nm and 338nm. Meanwhile, the temperature of 10% weight loss in air and nitrogen were higher than 441°C and 449°C respectively, and their glass-transition temperature (Tg) were higher than 348 °C. Furthermore, they possessed good mechanical properties with tensile strengths of 69–71MPa, elongations at break of 11.6–15.4% and low moisture absorption (<2%).Due to their properties, the polyimides could be considered as photoelectric and micro-electronic materials.

In this present work, porous mullites (PM0–5) were synthesized through a template-assisted method using various weight percentages of pluronic (P-123). PM5 obtained using 10 wt% of P-123 was found to show maximum porosity (3.8 Å) and low dielectric constant value (2.4). PM5 was functionalized using glycidyl-terminated silane and denoted as FPM and various weight percentages of FPM were reinforced with polybenzoxazine (PBZ) matrix in order to develop FPM/PBZ nanocomposites. The thermal studies indicate that 1.5 wt% of FPM/PBZ nanocomposite showed improved thermal stability with 34% char yield at 800°C and 162°C as glass transition temperature. It also exhibits low dielectric constant (2.6) than that of the neat PBZ matrix and other FPM/PBZ nanocomposites. The microscopic analysis confirms the homogenous dispersion of FPM into the PBZ polymer that has a porous morphology. The results suggest that the as-synthesized mesoporous mullite with low dielectric constant ( k), synthesized via template-assisted method can be used as a reinforcement to decrease the dielectric constant of polymeric material, which is of industrial significance.

A series of eight novel extended poly(phenylquinoxalines) (PPQs) containing carbonyl, ether and sulphide linking groups were prepared by polycondensation of 4,4'-bis(phenylglyoxalyl-4-phenoxy-4'-benzoyl)diphenyl sulphide, I-D, and 4,4'-bis(phenyl glyoxalyl-4-phenylthio-4'-benzoyl)diphenyl sulphide, 2-D, with four aromatic bis(o-diamines) in m-cresol. The primary objective of this study was to correlate the effect of these linkages on the various properties such as solubility, thermal stability and glass transition temperature of the PPQs. Polymerization of 1-D was carried out in an oil bath maintained at 195-200C whereas polymerization of 2-D was performed at ambient temperature. The polymers prepared were soluble in m-cresol. dimethylsulphoxide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, I-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents, and formed tough transparent, yellow fingernail-creasable films from chloroform solutions. The inherent viscosities ranged between 0.44 and 0.96 dl g' '. The glass transition temperatures were nearly identical for both systems and ranged from 217-231 'C for polymers prepared from l-D and from 215-233"C for polymers prepared from 2-D. The PPQs having carbonyl and stJlphide linking groups had higher thermal stability in comparison to PPQs having carbonyl, ether and sulphide linkages. The temperature of 10% weight loss for I-D ranged from 484-496 'C in air and 485-516"C in helium whereas those for 2-D ranged from 538-579 XC in air and 522-549 in helium.

Abstract A series of random polysulfone/polyethersulfone (PSF/PES) copolymers were synthesized by the polycondensation of 4,4′-isopropylidenediphenol, 4,4′-dihydroxyldiphenylsulfone, and 4,4′-dichlorodiphenylsulfone in the presence of potassium carbonate. The resulting copolymers displayed similar solubility with PSF and PES. The glass transition temperature and the 5% weight loss temperature of these copolymers varied in the range of 199°C–299°C and 467°C–498°C, respectively, which showed excellent thermal stability. Moreover, the elongation at break of these copolymers was much higher than that of PES, whereas the tensile strength was a little lower.

AbstractA series of new polyamides (PAs) has been prepared from a Troeger base-bridged diamine (TB), 2,8- diamino-4,10-dimethyl-6H,12H-5,11-methanodibenzo[1,5]-diazocine and different commercially available diacid monomers via the conventional polycondensation method. Dense membranes were prepared from the PAs by solution casting and solvent evaporation techniques. The synthesized PAs showed high glass transition temperature (283–290°C), 10% weight loss up to temperature 431°C in air, and tensile strength up to 91 MPa. The PA membranes showed higher permeability than some commercially used glassy polymers (PCO2 up to 109 and PO2 up to 21 Barrer) and permselectivity (PCO2/PCH4 up to 53.7 and PO2/PN2 up to 7.52) in comparison to many other PAs published in the literature.

A series of acrylonitrile (AN)-methacrylate (MA)-dimethyl maleate (DMM) terpolymers with different molar ratios were fabricated by emulsion polymerization. The feeding ratio agrees well with the composition of AN-MA-DMM terpolymer. With increasing the molar ratio of DMM in terpolymer, glass transition temperature (Tg) increases to higher temperature at first and then decreases. Tgdrops to the lowest value-78.6 °C when the feeding ratio is 85/13/2 mol%. The melting temperature (Tm) of 85/11/4 AN-MA-DMM terpolymer is the lowest at-137.2 °C, while its resistant temperature (5 wt% weight loss, T0.05) rises up to the highest value, -314.9 °C. DMM plays an important role in improving the melt flowability of PAN based copolymer. The cross sections of 85/14/1 AN-MA-DMM fiber are compact and the outer surfaces of the fiber are smooth. Tensile strength of AN-MA-DMM fiber is 3.4 cN/dtex.
