Thermal transition behaviors, solubility, and mechanical properties of wholly aromatic para -, meta -poly(ether-amide)s: Effect on numbers of para -aryl ether linkages

In order to make clear how the numbers of para-aryl ether linkages affect the solubility, thermal transition behavior and mechanical properties of para-(p-PEAs), meta-poly(ether-amide)s (m-PEAs), a series of para-substituted aryl ether diamine monomers with 2, 3, 4 or 5 ether linkages were synthesized, and then reacted with terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid via the Yamazaki-Higashi phosphorylation method to prepare wholly aromatic PEAs. The PEAs with intrinsic viscosity values in the range of 0.81-1.16 dL g-1 were obtained and characterized by FT-IR, NMR, and elemental analysis. Although the Tgs and Tms of PEAs decrease with the increasing numbers of aryl ether linkages, their Tgs and Tms still are above 180 °C and 320 °C, respectively. p-PEAs have a high crystallinity making it difficult to dissolve them in common organic solvents even when 5 aryl ether linkages are introduced. Conversely, except for m-PEA5 with a lower polarity, the other m-PEAs show good solubility due to their low crystallinity. Besides, the decomposition temperatures at 5% weight loss of all PEAs exceed 430 °C and their residual yields at 700 °C are above 50% in N2, illustrating that they have excellent thermal stability. It is found that by casting m-PEAs DMAc solution in a dish, the transparent films with high Young's modulus (2.6-3.5 GPa) can be successfully obtained.
