Aromatic-polymer structures

Although the structure is polar much of the polarity is frozen in at normal service temperatures. In such conditions electrical insulation properties are quite good even at high frequencies. As with many aromatic polymers, tracking resistance leaves something to be desired. 

Good electrical insulation properties with a high dielectric strength and good microwave transparency but with a low tracking resistance typical of aromatic polymers with a high C H ratio in the structure. 

One of the most dramatic examples of a solvent effect on propagation taken from the early literature is for vinyl acetate polymerization.78,79 Kamachi el al.n reported a ca. 80-fold reduction in kp (30aC) on shifting from ethyl acetate to benzonilrile solvent (Table 8.1). Effects on polymer structure were also reported. Hatada ef a m conducted a H NMR study on the structure of the PVAc formed in various solvents. They found that PVAc (M n 20000) produced in ethyl acetate solvent has 0.7 branches/chain while that formed in aromatic solvents is essentially unbranched. 

The above review on the uses of the CP/MAS NMR techniques in the study of the structural and reactivity properties of various types of carbohydrates and aromatic polymers indicates that despite their limitations, the methods have a wide range of applications.

The DSC and TGA plots of the oxidized polymer (VIII) showed that the Tm is 130°C and the weight loss of 20% and 80% was observed at 455°C and 600°C, respectively, compared to 400° and 482°C for the original polymer VII indicating the oxidized polymer was more stable to heat. This observation was consistent with the chemical structure of the oxidized polymer, which consisted of a repeating aromatic pyrrole structure and, therefore, should be more thermodynamically stable. The thermal data of the polymers are tabulated in Table II. 

Unsaturated groups are very interesting for application development because this specific functionality opens up a broad range of possibilities for further (chemical) modification of the polymer structure, and therefore its physical and material properties. The direct microbial incorporation of other functional substituents to the polymer side chains, e.g. epoxy-, hydroxy-, aromatic-, and halogen functional groups, influences the physical and material properties of poly(HAMCL) even further [28,33,35,39-41]. This features many possibilities to produce tailor-made polymers, depending on the essential material properties that are needed for the development of a specific application.

The formation ofC—C bonds between aromatic rings is an important step in many organic syntheses and can be accomplished by chemical, photochemical, or electrochemical means. As was noted earlier, fundamental considerations of the parameters for a dielectric which must be dealt with in designing a thermally stable, low-dielectric-constant polymer naturally lead one to consider rigid-rod, nonconjugated aromatic polymers containing no lossy functional groups. A structure such as poly(naphthalene) is a likely candidate. 

It appears that the main reasons for the high thermal stability ofPNT-N and PNT-F arise from their inherent rigid-rod polymer structure and the high aromatic content of the repeating unit. However, the fact that the thermal stability of PNT-F is higher than PNT-N might be the result of strong intermolecular interaction between chains because of dipole-dipole interactions.
