Abstract

Novel thermally stable and organosoluble poly(thiourea-amide-imide)s (PTAIs) were synthesized through the condensation of various diamines with a new kind of aromatic diacid chloride monomer containing pyridine units, 2-(3-(2-(3-(chlorocarbonyl)pyridin-2-yl)-1,3-dioxoisoindoline-5-carbonyl) thioureido) nicotinoyl chloride, CPDITNC. Spectroscopic and elemental analyses were carried out for the structure elucidation of synthesized monomers. Accordingly, the ensuing PTAIs were characterized by FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR techniques along with crystallinity, organosolubility, inherent viscosity and GPC measurements. Consequently, polymers bearing phenyl thiourea and pyridine moieties in the backbone exhibited good organosolubility in a variety of highly polar solvents such as DMAc, DMF, DMSO and NMP. PTAIs encompassed ηinh of 1.24-1.46 dL/g and two of the polymers showed crystalline behavior. Moreover, GPC measurements of polymers revealed Mw around 33,000-50,000. Thermal stability of these polymers was ascertained via 10% weight loss temperatures in the range of 548-562 °C (inert atmosphere). Ultimately, these polymers own high glass-transition temperatures about 264-270 °C.
