N‐methylation of wholly aromatic polyamides for size‐exclusion chromatography

Abstract: SYNOPSISWholly aromatic polyamides, including poly ( 1,4-phenyleneisophthalamide) and poly ( 1,4-phenyleneterephthalamide) are N-methylated to render them soluble in N,N-dimethylformamide, a common size-exclusion chromatography eluent. The procedure N-methylates 50-55% of the total amide linkages in these two examples, permitting reproducible measurement of their absolute molecular weight distributions using differential viscometry detection. There is no observable degradation in molecular weight resulting fro… Show more

“…The molecular weights of the N‐butylated polymers were evaluated by GPC (Table ). For PPTA with an inherent viscosity of 7.49 dL/g, a number‐averaged molecular mass of 37,000 g/mol was estimated, which was comparable to the results obtained by Ying et al and Mourey et al…”

“…After 18 h, the values of [η] of the polymers increased and that for the polymer prepared at C ad of 2.5% reached 0.51 dL·g −1 while maintaining the plate-like morphology as shown in Figure c. The number-average molecular weight ( M n ) and its distribution ( M w / M n ) were evaluated by SEC after N -methylation according to a previously reported procedure . The values of [η], M n , and M w / M n were plotted as a function of total concentration in Figure , and SEC profiles were shown in Figure .…”

“…This is due to the insolubility of these polymers originating from the “hard” urea‐segments in the polymer chain, which form hydrogen bonds . By N ‐methylation, the hydrogen bonds of the urea‐segments can be broken, and thus, the N ‐methylated polymers were well‐soluble in DMF for GPC measurements. These polymers are observed with molecular weights up to 8.7 kg mol −1 and a PDI as low as 1.36.…”
