Summary

Three kinds of aromatic polyamides were synthesized by Higashi reaction: aromatic polyamides with even, odd number of methylenes and a meta phenylene as a joint in the main chain. Each polymer consisted of 7 p-phenylene-amide elements as a rigid segment. The polymer with even number of methylenes showed a lyotropic liquid crystalline behavior and a broader biphasic region than the fully para aromatic polyamide such as poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide). Most polymers with odd number of methylenes did not form a liquid crystalline phase and showed a crystallo-solvate. Exceptionally, the polymer with glutaryl unit was observed to have the swollen gel of colored pattern by the polarized microscope. The zigzag polymer, characterized by the highly kinetic rigidity, revealed an anisotropic gel phase in a solution.
