Abstract

A series of optically active wholly aromatic polyamides (PAs) with amino acid moieties in the pendant groups have been synthesized through polycondensation of a chiral diacid and aromatic diamines in an ionic liquid (IL) as a green, safe and eco-friendly medium and also reactions catalysis agent (method I). Furthermore, the polymerization reactions were performed via conventional polycondensation (method II) and obtained results have been compared. Evaluation of data shows that IL is the better polyamidation medium and catalysis stand on the higher inherent viscosities and yields of the obtained PAs and the rate of polymerizations beyond the greener reaction conditions and deletion of some essential reagents in conventional manners. Characterization were performs by means of 1H-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetric techniques.
