Abstract

A series of multiblock thermoplastic ploy(ester imide ether)s elastomers derived from polytetramethylene glycol of molecule weight is 1000 (PTMG1000), 1,4-butanediol (BD), and a new imide diacid monomer were synthesized of Pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and glycine (GLY). was synthesized by two-step melting polycondensation method. Their chemical structures were studied by 1H-NMR spectroscopy as well as their thermal properties of the copolymers were investigated from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively. Otherwise, the solubility of these polymers was characterized by various organic solvents. The effects of the hard/soft segment content on the thermal properties and soluble behavior were investigated. The result demonstrated that these copolymers had better thermal properties (Tm: 225~280°C and T5% : 350~353°C) than those of conventional thermoplastic elastomers due to the introduction of imide bond. At the same time, the polymers have good solubility.
