Patent number: 5166313Abstract: The present invention comprises diamantane groups interspersed among benzothiazole groups, benzoxazole groups or benzimidazole groups. This constitutes a rigid-rod polymer with stable cycloaliphatic groups interspersed into the aromatic-heteroaromatic backbone of the rods. The presence of the aliphatic groups decreases crystallinity by adding disorder to the rods thus minimizing interactions between the heteroaromatic groups. The interspersed aliphatic groups act as insulators and thus permit greater relative protonation. Also, the reduced conjugation of the aromatic-heteroaromatic rings reduces the color of the polymers. The preferred method of manufacturing this improved rigid-rod polymer is by condensation of dimethyl diamantanecarboxylate with 2,5-diamino-1,4-benzenedithiol, 1,2,4,5-tetraaminobenzene, or 4,6-diamino-1,3-benzenediol.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1991Date of Patent: November 24, 1992Assignee: Fluorochem, Inc.Inventors: Thomas G.

Patent number: 4914180Abstract: Polyamides having improved solubility and processing characteristics are provided having incorporated into the polymeric chain a novel aromatic diamine compound, 2-(3-aminophenyl)-2-(4-aminophenyl) hexafluoropropane (3-4'-6F Diamine). The polyamides are prepared by reacting the 3,4'-6F Diamine with an aliphatic or aromatic di-acid or acid halide. It has been found that the polyamides of this invention have improved solubility characteristics, low dielectric constants and improved thermal flow properties as a consequence of the meta/para positioning of the amino groups on the daimine, which renders these polymers more readily melt spinnable for the production of fibers. The polymers may also be compression molded and fabricated into composites at moderate temperatures and pressures.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1988Date of Patent: April 3, 1990Assignee: Hoechst Celanese CorporationInventor: Rohitkumar H.
