Notes:
N-Phenylated aromatic polyamides and copolyamides derived from N,N′-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine, isophthaloyl, and terephthaloyl chloride were prepared by high-temperature solution polycondensation in anisole at 155°C. Factors that influenced the reaction, such as monomer concentration, solvent, temperature, and time, were studied to determine the optimum conditions for the preparation of high molecular weight polymers. Compared with analogous unsubstituted aromatic polyamides, the N-phenylated polymers exhibited better solubility in chlorinated and amide solvents, reduced crystallinity, and lower glass transition temperatures (above 200°C). All polymers except the polyterephthalamide could be solvent-cast, as well as hot-pressed, into transparent flexible films.
