Abstract
AbstractNovel polyimides and polyimides having phenoxathiin units have been prepared. Polyamides with inherent viscosities in the range of 0.5–2.9 were readily prepared by the polycondensations of phenoxathiin diamines with aromatic diacyl chlorides and of aromatic diamines with new phenoxathiin diacyl chlorides. The polyimides were synthesized from phenoxathiin diamines and pyromellitic dianhydride by using a two‐step procedure. The polyamic acids which formed in the first step had inherent viscosities ranging from 1.0 to 1.6, and they were converted to the polyimides by thermal cyclodehydration. Some of the phenoxanthiin‐containing polyamides were highly soluble in polar amide solvents and dimethyl sulfoxide. A series of novel polymers containing phenoxathiin units were much more thermostable than the corresponding polymers having open‐chain diphenyl ether linkages.
