Kinetic and mechanistic studiesoftheimidizationreactionhave been made and the effects of amine activators, catalysts, and palladium " have all been studied. Imide plastics have also been produced by the reaction of diamine-esters of poly(dicarboxylic acid) on filler surfaces in a quasi reaction-injection moulding process. ... 

Polyphenylene polymers can be prepared by this coupling. For example, the preparation of poly(/i-quaterphenylene-2,2 -dicarboxylic acid) (643) was carried out using aqueous NaHCO and a water-soluble phosphine ligand (DPMSPP)[5I I]. Branched polyphenylene was also prepared[5l2). 

The polyamides poly(hexamethylene sebacamide) and poly(hexamethylene adipamide) are also widely known as nylon-6,10 and nylon-6,6, respectively. The numbers following the word nylon indicate the number of carbon atoms in the diamine and dicarboxylic acid, in that order. On the basis of this same system, poly (e-caprolactam) is also known as nylon-6. 

The principal polymers to be described are poly(butylene terephthalate) [26062-94-2] (PBT) poly(ethylene terephthalate [25038-59-9] (PET) poly(cyclohexanedimethylene terephthalate) [24936-69-4] (CHDMT), and mention will be made of poly(ethylenenaphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate)... 

PEN film for audio- and videotape and various electronic appHcations and blow molded PEN containers for hot-fill appHcations are already being marketed in Japan. NDA is unlikely to ever become as inexpensive as terephthaUc acid but novel NDA-based polyesters will become available if a market need exists. One example could be the experimental polyester PBN (Celanese Corp.) this is the NDA analogue of PBT, poly(l,4-butylene naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate) [28779-82-0]. It has a high rate of crystallization, faster even than that of PBT, and its combination of physical properties is weU-suited for injection molding. 

As with poly(ethylene terephthalate) PBT-based copolymers have been introduced to overcome some of the deficiencies of the homopolymer. For example, the rather low notched impact strength of unreinforced grades has been overcome by partial replacement of the terephthalic acid with a longer chain aliphatic dicarboxylic acid. Improved toughness has also been obtained by grafting about 5% of ethylene and vinyl acetate onto the polyester backbone. 

With a somewhat lower level of heat resistance but with many properties that make them of interest as engineering materials alongside the polycarbonates, polysulphones, poly(phenylene sulphides) and polyketones are the so-called polyarylates which are defined as polyester from bis-phenols and dicarboxylic acids. 

Plasticizers can be classified according to their chemical nature. The most important classes of plasticizers used in rubber adhesives are phthalates, polymeric plasticizers, and esters. The group phthalate plasticizers constitutes the biggest and most widely used plasticizers. The linear alkyl phthalates impart improved low-temperature performance and have reduced volatility. Most of the polymeric plasticizers are saturated polyesters obtained by reaction of a diol with a dicarboxylic acid. The most common diols are propanediol, 1,3- and 1,4-butanediol, and 1,6-hexanediol. Adipic, phthalic and sebacic acids are common carboxylic acids used in the manufacture of polymeric plasticizers. Some poly-hydroxybutyrates are used in rubber adhesive formulations. Both the molecular weight and the chemical nature determine the performance of the polymeric plasticizers. Increasing the molecular weight reduces the volatility of the plasticizer but reduces the plasticizing efficiency and low-temperature properties. Typical esters used as plasticizers are n-butyl acetate and cellulose acetobutyrate. 

At constant PBT/PTMO composition, when the molar mass of PTMO block is >2000, partial crystallization of the polyether phase leads to copolymer stiffening. The properties of polyesterether TPEs are not dramatically different when PTMO is replaced by polyethers such as poly(oxyethylene) (PEO) or poly(oxypropylene). PEO-based TPEs present higher hydrophilicity, which may be of interest for some applications such as waterproof breathable membranes but which also results in much lower hydrolysis resistance. Changing PBT into a more rigid polymer by using 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid instead of terephthalic acid results in compounds that exhibit excellent general properties but poorer low-temperature stiffening characteristics.

Cortisone acetate has been incorporated into several polyanhydrides (15). The rates of release of cortisone acetate from microcapsules of poly(terephthaUc acid), poly(terephthaUc acid-sebacic acid) 50 50, and poly(carboxyphenoxypropane-sebacic acid) 50 50 are shown in Fig. 8. These microcapsules were produced by an interfacial condensation of a diacyl chloride in methylene chloride with the appropriate dicarboxylic acid in water, with or without the crosslinking agent trimesoyl chloride. This process produces irregular microcapsules with a rough surface. The release rates of cortisone acetate from these microcapsules varied correspondingly with the rate of degradation of the respective polyanhydrides. It can be expected that the duration of release of cortisone acetate from solid microspheres, such as those produced by the hot-melt process, would be considerably longer.

In an attempt to increase Tg of the poly[bis(o-carboxyphenoxy)alkanes], Anastasiou and Uhrich (2000a) replaced the alkane moiety by ortho-, meta-, and para-xylenes producing poly[o-/m-bis(p-carboxyphenoxy)xylene]s (Po-p-CPX, and Pm-p-CPX) and poly[o-/m-/p-bis(o-carboxyphenoxy)xylene]s (Po-o-CPX, Pm-o-CPX, and Pp-o-CPX). They found Po-p-CPX to be relatively insoluble and were unable to synthesize poly[p-bis(p-carboxy-phenoxy)xylene] because of the insolubility of the dicarboxylic acid (Anastasiou and Uhrich, 2000a). Po-o-CPX and Pm-o-CPX demonstrated the most favorable solubility and neither exhibited a melting temperature. All of the polymers synthesized had Tgs between 71 and 101°C (Anastasiou and Uhrich, 2000a). 

The reactions of electrophilic alkynes, such as DMAD (dimethyl acetylene-dicarboxylate), with metal per- and poly-chalcogenido complexes have been exploited for the synthesis of homoleptic and heteroleptic 1,2-dithiolene,... 

A powerful and efficient method for the preparation of poly(ketone)s is the direct polycondensation of dicarboxylic acids with aromatic compounds or of aromatic carboxylic acids using phosphorus pentoxide/methanesulfonic acid (PPMA)16 or polyphosphoric acid (PPA)17 as the condensing agent and solvent. By applying both of these reagents to the synthesis of hexafluoroisopropylidene-unit-containing aromatic poly(ketone)s, various types of poly(ketone)s such as poly(ether ketone) (11), poly(ketone) (12), poly(sulfide ketone) (13), and poly-... 

Several routes have been reported for the synthesis of aromatic poly(azole)s such as poly(benzimidazole), poly(benzoaxazole), and poly(benzthiazole) melt polycondensation of dicarboxylic acid diphenyl esters with tetramines21 and high-temperature solution polycondensation of dicarboxylic acids or their derivatives with tetramine hydrochlorides in PPA.22 PPA acts as condensing agent and solvent. Ueda etal.23 developed a modified method for the synthesis ofpolyazoles with the use of PPM A.
