Synthesis of Polyimides, Polyamides, and Poly(Amide-Imides) in the "Green" Solvent N-Butyl-2-Pyrrolidone (TamiSolve NxG): Features, Optimization, and Versatility.

ABSTRACT: Owing to their outstanding thermal and mechanical properties, polyimides (PIs), polyamides (PAs), and poly(amide-imides) (PAIs) are essential for developing and manufacturing modern high-tech products, including electroactive ones. Despite their large-scale production for diverse applications, the synthesis of these polymers traditionally relies on highly toxic solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), and m-cresol. This work investigates the possibility of replacing these hazardous solvents with a more sustainable and "green" alternative, N-butyl-2-pyrrolidone (NBP). We have thoroughly studied and analyzed the synthesis of various PIs, PAs, and PAIs via one- and two-step polycondensation of tetracarboxylic acid dianhydrides with di
