Abstract
ABSTRACT Six new thermally stable polyamides 3a-f were synthesized through the polycondensation reaction of 2,5-pyridine dicarboxylic acid 1 with six different derivatives of aromatic diamines 2a-f in a medium consisting of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, triphenyl phosphite, calcium chloride and pyridine. The polycondensation reaction produced a series of novel polyamides containing pyridyl moieties in the main chain in high yield with inherent viscosities between 0.50-0.82 dL/g. The resulting polymers were fully characterized by means of FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental analyses, inherent viscosimetry, and solubility tests. Thermal properties of these polymers were investigated by using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differantional thermal gravimetry (DTG). All of the polymers were soluble at room temperature in polar solvents such as N,N′-dimethyl acetamide, N,N′-dimethyl formamide, dimethyl sulfoxide and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. e-mail: k faghihi@araku.ac.ir INTRODUCTION Aromatic polyamides have received considerable attention with regard to the production of high performance materials due to their outstanding thermal stability, chemical resistance, electrical and mechanical properties.
