Abstract

Copolymers of phenylacetylene (PA) and p-nitrophenylacetylene (pNPA) with various monomers ratios were prepared and characterized. The solubility of copolymers is dependent on the number of PA units in the chain. They show a good degree of stereoregularity and the MWs are in the 103–105 a.m.u. range, depending on the monomers and catalyst molar ratios. The soluble samples exhibit film-forming properties and the film-surface morphology may be varied by using different solvents. The copolymers give good electrical response to relative humidity variations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 93–102, 1998
