Miscible blends of aromatic polybenzimidazoles and aromatic polyimides

Simulated crystalline structures of aromatic polyimides.

Principles of sequence-recognition in aromatic polyimides.

Pyrene-based molecular tweezers show sequence-specific binding to aromatic polyimides through sterically-controlled donor-acceptor pi-stacking and hydrogen bonding; (1)H NMR spectra of tweezer-complexes with polyimides having different sequence-restrictions show conclusively that the detection of long range sequence-information results from multiple tweezer-binding at adjacent imide residues.

New Thermally Stable Aromatic Polyimides Based on Aromatic Diamine ‎2,5-Bis(3-amino-4-methyl benzene)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (BAMO):‎ Synthesis and Characterization

In current study, the synthesis and characterization of novel thermally stable polyimides (PIs) containing an 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety based on a diamine, i.e. 2,5-bis(3-amino-4-methyl benzene)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (BAMO), have been reported. The polymers were characterized using FT-IR and elemental analysis (CHN). Thermal and mechanical behaviours of the prepared PIs were studied by thermo-gravimet...

Coloration of Aromatic Polyimides and Electronic Properties of Their Source Materials

The relationships between the color intensities of polyimide films and the electronic properties of their source materials-aromatic diamines and aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides-are discussed. The arrangement of the diamine moieties in order of color intensity of polyimides shows fairly good agreement with the order of the electron-donating properties of the diamines estimated from 15N NMR...

Observation of ionic hydrogen bonding between anions and triarylamine-based aromatic polyimides with secondary amine

Four triarylamine-based high-performance polyimides with secondary amine were readily synthesized, their ionic hydrogen-bonding interaction with pyridines and anions are successfully demonstrated (20 times higher than the literature in sensitivity) by the means of electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry. The prepared polymer thin films having the advantage for real-time qualitative detecti...
