Soluble Polyimides Bearing (cis, trans)-Hydrogenated Bisphenol A and (trans, trans)-Hydrogenated Bisphenol A Moieties: Synthesis, Properties and the Conformational Effect.

ABSTRACT: In this work, hydrogenated bisphenol A (HBPA) based dinitro mixed isomers (1a' and 1a) were synthesized and separated via vacuum distillation under the monitor of DSC and 1H NMR. Corresponding diamines (2a' and 2a) were separately polycondensed with five commercial dianhydrides via a two-step thermal imidization to obtain PI-(1'-5') and PI-(1-5). All the polyimides could afford flexible, tough, and transparent films, and most of them were readily soluble not only in common polar solvents like DMAc, but also in low boiling point solvents such as chloroform. 1H NMR spectra of the polyimides demonstrated that HBPA moiety showed no conformation changes during the preparation of polymers. For a given dianhydride, PI-(1-5) exhibited better thermal stability than that of PI-(1'-5'), this can be a
