Abstract

Ali Sadeghinia and Hossein Mighani

Aromatic and aliphatic diamines are one of the main components in polyamides, polyimides, polyurea and polyurethanes. To prepare high performance and well featured materials, attempts is directed to the novel diamine synthesis routes in which soluble thermo-resistant, soluble and easy process polymers are obtained. To solubility improvement and decreasing the glass transition temperature, existing flexible bonds in polymer repeating unit are necessary. These bonds decrease the internal rotational energies. Using heterocyclic rings or introducing of polar functional groups such as amide in the main synthetic polymer chain results in convenient polarity and solubility of polymer. Until now, massive investigations have been conducted to prepare aromatic monomers with high solubility and processing capabilities. In the current study, our main aim is to prepare diamines which are applicable in thermo-resistant polymers including polyamide, polyimide, polyurea and polyurethanes.
