Abstract
AbstractNew polythioesters of better physicochemical and mechanical properties have been obtained by interfacial polycondensation of 4,4′‐di(mercaptomethyl)benzophenone with terephthaloyl, isophthaloyl, and phthaloyl chlorides with the use of sodium hydroxide excess as a hydrogen chloride acceptor. According to preliminary experiments, the best yield and the highest reduced viscosity are reached when the polycondensation at a 1:l ratio of the aqueous to the organic phase is carried out at a temperature of 5–7°C with a little excess of acid chloride with addition time of 0.5–2 min in the presence of 100% excess of NaOH as hydrogen chloride acceptor. The structure of the polythioesters was determined from elemental analysis and infrared spectra. Thermal properties of all polythioesters were determined. Mechanical and electrical properties of only the most interesting polythioesters obtained from isophthaloyl chloride were determined.
