Abstract

New aromatic polyimides and polyamide-imides containing azomethine linkages in the polymer backbone have been synthesized by reacting 4,4′-bis(isocyanato) benzylidene aniline (AZMI) with pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), 3,3′, 4,4′-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) and trimellitic anhydride (TMA) by one-step method. The AZMI was synthesized from 4,4′-bis(carboxy) benzylidene aniline (AZMA) by a Weinstock modified curtius rearrangement. All the polycondensation reactions were carried out in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and the polymers obtained were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, solution viscosity, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction.
