Abstract Details

2014, Master of Science (MS), Wright State University, Chemistry.
A series of oxyalkylene containing diamines, 1,4-bis(2-(4-aminophenoxy)-ethoxy)benzene, 2,2-bis[4-(2-(4-nitrophenoxy)ethoxy)phenyl]hexafluoropropane, 9,9-bis(4-(2-(4-nitrophenoxy)ethoxy)phenyl)fluorene, and bis(4-(2-(4-nitrophenoxy)ethoxy)-phenyl)diphenylmethane, has been synthesized from the reduction of 1,4-bis(2-(4-nitrophenoxy)ethoxy)benzene, 2,2-bis[4-(2-(4-nitrophenoxy)ethoxy)phenyl]-hexafluoropropane, 9,9-bis(4-(2-(4-nitrophenoxy)ethoxy)phenyl)fluorene, bis(4-(2-(4-nitrophenoxy)ethoxy)phenyl)diphenylmethane, respectively. The diamine compounds were reacted reacted with 6FDA to obtain the corresponding polyimide. The polymerization was done in a one-pot reaction with m-cresol and isoquinoline. The polyimides displayed glass transition temperatures ranging from 186-231°C and thermal stability >400°C.
