Notes:
Poly-4,4′-oxydiphenylenesulfonyl and poly-4,4′-methylenediphenylenesulfonyl were synthesized by an electrophilic substitution polymerization of the arylene monosulfonyl chloride monomers. The glass-transition temperatures Tg of these polymers were determined by calorimetric and dynamic mechanical measurements, and the number-average molecular weights were determined by vapor-pressure osmometry. Both polymers were found to have the same Tg at equivalent molecular weight; the limiting value at high molecular weight is 238°C. Both polymers have two dynamic mechanical relaxation peaks at temperatures far below Tg. One is in the neighborhood of 0°C, and the other is at -110°C. Plausible origins for these relaxations, and the absence of any near 0°C in poly(4,4′-isopropylidenediphenylene-co-4,4′-sulfonyldiphenylene dioxide), are discussed.
