between amino and hydroxy groups formed, leading to the
similar to common pre- and cured benzoxazine resins. Thus,
we developed novel thermally highly stable benzoxazine res-
ins bearing polyacetylene backbones. The refractive indices
of the cured resins were rather smaller than those of the
prepolymers, showing the possibility of the present polymers
as nonvolume shrinkage thermosetting resins. Further study
such as mechanical properties are now in progress.

decrease of surface energy. On the contrary, the h values of
poly(1) decreased after thermal curing, indicating the hydro-
0
philicity of the surface of poly(1) larger than that of poly(1)
[
Fig. 8(a,b)]. It is speculated that the hydroxy groups of
0
poly(1) are orientated toward the film surface, and this ori-
entation is not retarded by such hydrogen bonding so much.
On the other hand, no remarkable difference was observed
0
between the h value of poly(2) and poly(2) films, which is
explainable by the formation of hydrogen bonding between
the amino and hydroxy groups formed by ring opening of
the benzoxazine moieties [Fig. 8(c,d)]. This is reasonable

because the hydroxy groups of poly(1) are located at the
benzene rings directly connected to the rigid polyacetylene

backbone, while those of poly(2) are located at the benzene
rings through phenylene–nitrogen–methylene spacer. It is

therefore likely that the hydroxy groups of poly(2) are more

movable compared to those of poly(1) , and form hydrogen
bonding more efficiently.
Table 4 lists the thickness and refractive indices of the poly-
mer films before and after curing. The thickness and refrac-
tive indices of the four polymer films were in the ranges of
28–41 nm and 1.68–1.80. Poly(1) and poly(2) became thin

hydroxy groups are oriented toward outside of the film sur-

disturbs the molecular motion of the ring-opened benzoxa-

hydrogen bonding between OH and N commonly observed in
