We report the synthesis of new polyamides containing 2,6-bis(2-thio-2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-1-oxo)pyridine subunit, under microwave irradiation using Yamasaki phosphorylation method. The solubility, thermal behavior, and viscosity of polyamides were evaluated. The structures of polymers have been characterized using IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. These polyamides showed good solubility, viscosity, high thermal stability, and glass transition temperatures. Their viscosities and glass transition temperatures are in the range of 0.63–0.88 and 223–295°C, respectively. Thermal stabilities for 10% weight loss (T10) are 137–173°C and for 50% weight loss (T50) are in the range of 483–523°C. The study of surface morphology showed particle and amorphous structures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
