Notes:
New crosslinkable aromatic polyimides were synthesized from 2,3-dicyano-5,6-di(aminophenyl)pyrazine (1b) and 2,3-dicyanopyrazino [5,6-9,10] diaminophenanthrene (2b). They were characterized by viscosimetry, IR, NMR, x-ray, DTA, TMA, TGA, and isothermal gravimetric analysis. The polyimides derived from 1b were amorphous whereas those prepared from 2b showed microcrystalline or crystalline character. The polymers were soluble in polar aprotic solvents (DMF, NMP, DMSO) at ambient temperature or upon heating. They dissolved also completely or partially in certain hot inorganic and organic acids (H2SO4, CCl3COOH). Their glass transition temperatures were in the range of 257-370°C. The crosslinked polymers obtained after an appropriate thermal treatment, were stable up to 397-426°C in N2 or air and afforded anaerobic char yields of 62-75% at 800°C. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
