Abstract
AbstractA series of aromatic polyamides containing an s‐triazine ring with thiophenoxy linkages was synthesized from two new diacids, namely 2,4‐bis‐(4‐carboxyphenoxy)‐6‐thiophenoxy‐s‐triazine and 2,4‐bis‐(3‐carboxyphenoxy)‐6‐thiophenoxy‐s‐triazine, and commercially available aromatic diamines by using Yamazaki's phosphorylation reaction. The polyamides were obtained in good yields and were characterized by solubility tests, viscosity measurements, FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction studies and thermogravimetric analysis. The polyamides were found to have inherent viscosities in the range of 0.35 to 0.56 dl g−1 in N,N‐dimethylacetamide (DMAc) at 30 ± 0.1 °C. All the polyamides were readily soluble in solvents such as DMAc, N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone (NMP), N,N‐dimethylformamide (DMF) and m‐cresol. Thermogravimetric analysis of the polyamides indicated no weight loss below 345 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry
