Based on monomer 2,6,12-triaminotriptycene, hyperbranched polyimides with high molecular weight modified with different terminal functional groups were obtained by polymerization of A2 + B3 system. The prepared hyperbranched polyimides had good solubility in CHCl3, DMF and THF, and performed no detective Tgs in the range of 50-330℃ and high TdS (5%) above 455℃.
Based on several unsymmetrical, twist, noncoplanar phthalazinone-containing monomers 2a-2e and an active bis(4-fluorophenyl)phenyl phosphine oxide (BFPPO) monomer, a series of novel poly(phthalazinone ether phosphine oxide)s (PPEPO) was synthesized by anhydrous K2CO3 mediated N-C coupling reaction in DMAc. The polymers exhibited good thermal properties with Tgs ranging from 267℃ to 306℃ and 5% weight loss temperatures in nitrogen higher than 430℃, together with high char yield upon prolonged heating at 800℃ (35%-56%). Moreover, the polymers were readily soluble in common organic solvents, such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, chloroform and m-cresol. These polymers had inherent viscosities in the range of 0.45-0.72 dL/g and could be cast into flexible and colorless films by spin coating or casting approach.
