We report herein a facile and widely applicable microwave-assisted protocol for the synthesis of symmetrical diimides based on three structurally distinct aromatic dianhydrides: pyromellitic (PMA), biphenyl-tetracarboxylic acid (BPDA) and benzophenone-tetracarboxylic (BTDA) and five natural amino acids (Phe, Tyr, Ile, Lys, Cys). Fifteen symmetrical diimides with different structural characteristics

Four new thermally stable and optically active poly(amide-imide)s (PAI)s with good inherent viscosities were synthesized from the direct polycondensation reaction of N,N′-(pyromellitoyl)-bis-L-α-amino acids with 3,5-diamino-N-(3,4-dihydroxy-phen-ethyl)benzamide in a medium consisting of a molten salt, tetrabutylammonium bromide, and triphenyl phosphite as the activator. The polymerization reactions

Here, poly(amide-imide) (PAI) composites containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were synthesized with solution casting method. To improve the dispersion and compatibility with the polymer matrix the MWCNT was surface-modified with dopamine biomolecule under microwave irradiation. The prepared dopamine-functionalized MWCNT (MWCNT-Dop) was characterized for their structure, morphology, and thermal

In the present work, several novel optically active nanostructure poly(amide-imide)s (PAI)s were synthesized via step-growth polymerization reaction of chiral diacids based on pyromellitic dianhydride-derived dicarboxylic acids containing different natural amino acids such as l-alanine, S-valine, l-leucine, l-isoleucine, l-methionine, and l-phenylalanine with 2-(3,5-diaminophenyl)-benzimidazole under green conditions using molten tetrabutylammonium bromide. The new optically active PAIs were achieved in good yields and moderate inherent viscosity up to 0.41 dL/g. The synthesized polymers were characterized with FT-IR, H-1-NMR, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), elemental and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. These polymers show high solubility in organic polar solvents due to the presence of amino acid and benzimidazole pendant group at room temperature. FE-SEM results show that, these chiral nanostructured PAIs have spherical shapes and the particle size is around 20-80 nm. On the basis of TGA data, such PAIs are thermally stable and can be classified as self-extinguishing polymers. In addition due to the existence of amino acids in the polymer backbones, these macromolecules are not only optically active but also could be biodegradable and thus may well be classified under environmentally friendly materials.

Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were functionalized with glucose using a covalent, non-specific functionalization approach. Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed that glucose structures were covalently attached to CNTs. Hydroxylated poly(amide-imide) (PAI)-based composites were developed by dispersing of glucose-functionalized MWCNTs (MWCNTs-GI) as reinforcement in different concentrations varying from 5 to 15 wt.%. Nanocomposites have slightly higher degree of crystallinity than neat PAI and their thermooxidative stability was significantly affected by the addition of MWCNTs-GI. According to mechanical tensile tests, the tensile strength and the Young's modulus of the MWCNT-GI/PAI composites were increased with increasing MWCNTs-GI content. The tensile strength remarkably increased from 81 to 129 MPa, which was about 59% higher than that of the neat PAI, with the addition of MWCNT-GI contents within 15 wt.% and the elongation at break decreased about 0.2% at a 5 wt.% loading of MWCNT-GI in comparison with the pure PAI film.
