Designed Monomers and Polymers
Abstract
Optically active bismaleimide and N-(p-substituted phenyl)maleimide-type monomers were synthesized from 4-maleimidobenzoic acid (MBA) or its acid chloride (MBAC). The new synthesized compounds were characterized by IR spectroscopy, 1H-NMR spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The solubility, optical activity of all the monomers, and the thermal properties of the bismaleimides are reported. New optically active polymers derived from some of the synthesized monomers were obtained by Michael-type polyaddition or by addition polymerization.
