Ultrahigh performance bio-based polyimides from 4,4′-diaminostilbene
摘要:
We have developed a novel route for the synthesis of high-performance bio-polyimides (PIs) microbially-derived from photo-responsive aromatic diamine 4,4'-diaminostilbene (DAS) and its reduced counterpart 4, 4'-(ethane-1,2-diyl) dianiline (EDDA). DAS and EDDA were condensed with various commercially-available dianhydrides to obtain a series of poly(amic acid)s (PAAs) and PIs which were characterized in terms of their thermal, mechanical, and photo-functions. These bio-based PAAs showed a very high viscosity of 6.62 dL/g, and the PIs showed ultrahigh thermal resistance with T-d10 values over 600 degrees C, which were higher than that of any bio-based plastic reported thus far. They also showed T-g values above 250 degrees C, and tensile strength of over 132 MPa, which is higher than that of Kapton (TM). The PIs also showed photo-functional behavior based on stilbene-based photoreactions. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Phenoxy resins are disclosed which are prepared from polyglycidyl amines containing one or more mesogenic moieties. The phenoxy resins are useful in the preparation of coatings.
Glycidyl amines containing mesogenic moieties result in improved properties when cured. These amines are useful in coatings, adhesives, encapsulants, moldings, laminates, and the like.
