Synthesis and Characteristic of Novel Soluble Triazoleimide Oligomers with Terminated Arylacetylene

Abstract

Novel soluble triazoleimide oligomers terminated with arylacetylene terminated were synthesized by the Cu(I)-catalysed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition polymerization of diazides and imide-containing dialkyne. Several molecular weight triazoleimide oligomers were prepared from diazide and dialkyne monomers with different stoichiometric combinations. The curing behaviors of the oligomers were tested by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The thermal properties of the cured products were evaluated by DSC and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). These cured oligomers showed the glass transition temperature of about 225 -235 o C and the decomposition temperature (at 5% weight loss) of about 385 -393 o C in nitrogen.
