Abstract

A new aromatic diamine, 4-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2,6-bis[4-(4-amino-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenyl]pyridine (9FPBAPP), was prepared from 4-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2,6-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyridine with 2-chloro-5-nitrotrifluoromethylbenzene by substitution and reduction reactions successively. A series of fluorinated copoly(pyridine ether imide)s were prepared from 4,4′-oxydianiline (ODA), pyromellitic dianhydride and 9FPBAPP by thermal imidization procedure with various mole ratios of ODA and 9FPBAPP. All polymers were amorphous and soluble in organic solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and had Tgs of 285.8–310.0 °C, 5% weight loss temperature of 545.5–565.7 °C in nitrogen atmosphere. Tough and flexible polymer films also exhibited excellent mechanical properties with tensile strengths of 76.3–96.5 MPa, tensile moduli of 1.3–1.8 GPa, elongations at break of 15.6–25.1%, low dielectric constants of 3.04–3.51 (1 MHz) and water uptake of 0.44–0.65%, as well as high optical transparency with an ultraviolet–visible absorption cutoff wavelength in the 382–412 nm range.
