Abstract
Seven imidodicarboxylic acids II-1 to 5, II-10, and II-11 were prepared from trimellitic anhydride and ω-amino acids, such as glycine, β-alanine, 4-aminobutyric acid, 5-aminopentanoic acid, 6-aminohexanoic acid, 11-aminoundecanoic acid, and 12-aminododecanoic acid. Several aliphatic-aromatic poly(amide-imide)s were prepared by triphenyl phosphite promoted polycondensation reaction from the combination of 3-(4-carboxyphthalimido)propionic acid (II-2) or 6-(4-carboxyphtalimido)hexanoic acid (II-5) with various aromatic diamines and of all the imidodiacids with p-phenylenediamine or 4,4′-oxydianiline. All poly(amide-imide)s were characterized by inherent viscosity, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) measurements, solubility, tensile test, wide-angle X-ray scatting patterns, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements, and thermogravimetric (TGA) analyses. Effects of structural changes such as polymethylene length and diamine moieties on the properties of poly(amide-imide)s were studied. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
