Abstract
This research was part of an ongoing program aimed at the synthesis of soluble, rigid-rod or segmented rigid-rod polyimides. The approach described in this paper involved the polymerization of 2,2′-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,4′-diamino-biphenyl (TFDB). The incorporation of this moiety in aromatic polyamides has been shown to dramatically affect their properties. It was felt that the all-para-linked, rigid segments would enhance the polymers' mechanical properties. The perfluoromethyl groups were also expected to enhance other desirable properties such as thermal stability and hydrolysis resistance.
