Abstract

ABSTRACTSoluble poly(silyl ether amide)s and related nanocomposites with improved thermally stability was prepared. For this, a diamine was prepared through reaction of para-aminophenol with dichlorodiphenylsilane. Structure of diamine was confirmed with conventional spectroscopic methods. Poly(silyl ether amide)s was synthesized through polycondensation of diamine with different diacid chlorides. Properties of poly(silyl ether amide)s comprising thermal behavior, thermal stability, solubility, solution viscosity, and morphology were studied. Polymers showed high thermal stability and good solubility in organic solvents due to their unique structures. Related nanocomposites with different contents of silica nanoparticles (10–40 wt%) were prepared and their properties compared with pristine polyamides.
