Preparation and characterization of polysulfonamide statistical copolymers from three aromatic diamines

Various polysulfonamide(PSA) statistical copolymers were synthesized by polycondensation of three aromatic diamines and terephthaloyl chloride.The inherent viscosities of the resulting PSA copolymers range from 1.54 to 1.66 dL/g.The precipitated PSA copolymers with feed content of p-phenylene diamine(PPD) being less than 50%(mole fraction) can be redissolved in N-methyl-2-pryrrolidone(NMP) or N,N-dimethylacetamide(DMAc) with lithium chloride of wLiCl=0.02.All of the PSA copolymers exhibit enhanced tensile s...
