Notes:
By interfacial polycondensation of 4,4′-dimercaptobenzophenone with oxalyl, succinyl, adipolyl, suberoyl, and sebacoyl chlorides new polythioesters were obtained. To determine the optimal conditions of interfacial polycondensation the influence of the following factors on yield and value of reduced viscosity was studied: type of organic phase, the quantitative ratio of aqueous to organic phase, concentration of hydrogen chloride acceptor, molar ratio of reagents, temperature of reaction, rate of acid chloride addition, and contribution of catalyst. A thorough examination of the polycondensation of dithiol with adipolyl and sebacoyl chlorides was carried out. The structure of all polythioesters obtained under model conditions was determined by elemental analysis and infrared spectra. Initial decomposition and intensive decomposition temperature were defined by the curves of thermogravimetric analysis. Mechanical and electrical properties of the polythioesters obtained from 4,4′-dimercaptobenzophenone and adipoyl and sebacoyl chlorides were determined. The molecular weight was not measured because of the low solubility of the polythioesters.
