Abstract
AbstractWholly aromatic random copolyamides of high molecular weights were prepared by the high‐temperature solution polycondensation of an aromatic diisocyanate, 4,4′‐methylenedi(phenyl isocyanate) or 2,4‐tolylene diisocyanate, with a mixture of isophthalic acid and 4,4′‐oxydibenzoic acid. Glass transition temperatures of the polyamides and copolyamides were between 229 and 273°C; this depended on the combination of diisocyanates and dicarboxylic acids used. These aromatic copolyamides showed better solubility in various organic solvents and reduced crystallinity, compared to the corresponding homopolyamides. The copolyamides prepared from 2,4‐tolylene diisocyanate had greater solubility and higher glass transition temperatures than those obtained from 4,4′‐methylenedi(phenyl isocyanate).
