Abstract
Novel aromatic polyimides containing hydroxytriphenylamine units were prepared from 4,4′-diamino-4″-hydroxytriphenylamine 1 and various aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides 2. The glass transition temperatures ( Tgs) of these polyimides were in the range of 274–388 °C and the 10% weight loss temperatures ( T d10s) were above 462 and 511 °C in air and nitrogen respectively. Polyimide 4f prepared from diamine 1 and 4,4′-hexafluoroisopropylidenebis(phthalic anhydride) (6FDA) was soluble not only in organic solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N, N-dimethylacetamide, N, N-dimethylformamide, 1, 3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidone and dimethyl sulfoxide but also in tetramethylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution. Other resulting polyimides were not soluble in organic solvents. The resulting polyimides 4 possessed Tgs about 20–70 °C higher and poorer solubilities than the previously reported polyimides prepared from 4,4′-diaminotriphenylamine and various aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides. These results indicated that polymer properties such as thermal behaviour and solubilities were influenced by the intermolecular interaction of hydrogen bonding due to hydroxy units.
