Abstract

ABSTRACT Poly(amide-imide)s (PAI)s as engineering materials have received more attention owing to their high thermal and chemical stability. Therefore, organic/inorganic nanocomposite (NC) of these materials has been widely studied in the last few decades. Here, we present PAI-NCs preparation containing surface modified TiO 2 nanoparticles (NP)s by employing silane coupling agent under ultrasonic process. Optically active nanostructure PAI was prepared from 5-(2-benzimidazole)-1,3-phenylenediamine (4) and chiral diacid monomer N -trimellitylimido- L -leucine (5) using molten salt tetrabuthylammonium bromide as an activating medium. A considerable improvement of properties can be achieved by inserting NPs into the polymer matrix. The results of field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy indicated that there is a little aggregation of a large quantity of particles. Thermogravimetric analysis confirmed that the heat stability of the polymer NCs in the temperature range of 400-800 oC was enhanced.
