Some correlations in the formation of poly(amidearylates) from polycyclic bisphenols by low-temperature polycondensation

Abstract

Poly(amide-arylates) obtained by interfacial polycondensation of bisphenols of the ordinary type (diphenylolpropane, hydroquinone etc.) with diamines and acid chlorides of dibasic acids are well known [1–5]. Recently the method of synthesis of polymers by low-temperature polycondensation in solution has been used extensively [6–7], but there is no information in the literature on the preparation of poly(amide-arylates) by this method. The aim of the present paper is to study some correlations in low-temperature polycondensation leading to formation of poly(amide-arylates). By the examples of polycondensation of sebacyl chloride with 4,4′-(hexahydro-4,7-methyleneindan 5-ylidene) diphenol and hexamethylene diamine, and of the same diphenol and diamine with terephthalyl chloride, we have studied the effect of such factors as temperature, the nature of the solvent and tertiary amine, reaction time and the ratio of the reactants.
