Abstract
A series of polyphosphonates were synthesized by base promoted liquid-vapor interfacial polycondensation of various alkyl (aryl) phosphonic dichlorides (methylphosphonic dichloride (MPD), cyclohexylphosphonic dichloride (CPD) and phenylphosphonic dichloride (PPD)) with different bisphenols (hydroquinone (HQ), bisphenol A (BA), 4,4′ - biphenol (BP), 1,5-naphtalenediol (ND) and 4,4′ - sulfonyldiphenol (SD)). The polyphosphonates were characterized by infrared (IR) and proton magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy. Yields in the range of 20–80% and Mn of ∼ 8500–35000 were obtained. DSC measurements show Tg in the range 95°–148°C. These polymers are soluble in solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran and chloroform. Polyphosphonates were stable up 240°–300°C in air atmosphere.
