Abstract
AbstractHigh molar‐mass aromatic polyamides were obtained from 7,7'‐bis(4‐carboxyphenoxy)‐4,4,4′,4′‐tetramethyl‐2,2′‐spirobichroman, a novel dicarboxylic acid monomer, by direct polycondensation reaction in N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone (NMP) with various aromatic diamines, using triphenyl phosphite and pyridine as condensing agents. Polyamides having inherent viscosities of 0,73–1,08 dL/g were obtained in quantitative yield. All the polyamides, even that derived from benzidine, are completely amorphous and readily soluble in a variety of organic solvents such as NMP, N,N‐dimethylacetamide (DMAc), N,N‐dimethylformamide (DMF), and m‐cresol. Their solutions can be cast into transparent, flexible and tough films. All the polyamides show distinct glass transitions in the range of 182–235°C on their differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) traces. The 10% weight loss temperatures in nitrogen and air are above 416 and 422°C, respectively.
