Abstract

Imbalance condensation of diaminophenylbenzimidazole, DAPBI, with terephthaloyl chloride, TPC was conducted for the purpose of synthesis of macromonomers, expected to be used in syntheses of aromatic polyamides with structural regularities. The products are soluble in dimethylsulfoxide—d6, and their 1H NMR spectra indicate that all the products are carboxyl-terminated. The signal of carboxyphenyl linked to chain ends is different from that of terephthaloyl in the 1H NMR spectra. By use of the ratio of the signal intensity of the former to that of the latter, the number-average degree of polymerization, DPNMR is determined. With the mole ratio in feed, DPNMR of the product increases. The TG thermograms of the products are a multistage one. Each stage is classified by temperature and mass loss at an inflection point. Mass loss of each stage classified by temperature at an inflection point corresponds to mass fraction of an aromatic amide with a characteristic degree of polymerization, DP, and that is, the DP distribution of the products is roughly estimated from the TG thermograms. The DP distribution of macromonomers influences performance of aromatic polyamides with structural regularities, derived from the macromonomers. The convenient estimation method of DP distribution by TG is useful in industries of high-performance polymers. To the knowledge, such convenient technique has never reported.
