Poly-ether-aroyl-oxadiazoles (PEODZ) of general formula: are reported.Thermal cyclization of the starting polyhydrazides, infrared, thermal, and structural characterization are discussed as function of the number of methylene spacers in the range 2-12.It is found that the position of melting is strongly dependent upon the number of—CH2—, and that moldable polyoxadiazoles are obtained at × values 〉 7. The spherulitic nature of PEODZ is clearly revealed by thermal-optical microscopy which, together with isothermal crystallizations at the differential scanning calorimeter, gives a close insight into the crystalline organization of such polymers. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
