Abstract

A series of new poly(arylene ether 1,3,4-oxadiazole)s has been obtained starting from a difluorosubstituted monomer containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole rings and some dihydroxynaphthalene isomers. The polymers have been prepared by polycondensation in solution and have been obtained in quantitative yield. They had inherent viscosity from 0.2 to 0.82 dL/g, showed good thermal stability (10% weight loss temperatures in nitrogen and air were above 460 and 450°C, respectively) and high glass transition temperatures (in the range of 197–232°C). The polymers were characterized by elemental and infrared analyses, GPC and wide angle X-ray diffraction.
