Poly(1,3,4‐oxadiazoles). Effect of structure on polymer properties

摘要

AbstractPoly(1,3,4‐oxadiazole‐2,5‐diylvinylene) and poly(1,4‐phenylene‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole‐2,5‐diylvinylene) were prepared by polymerizing different quantities of terephthalic acid (T), maleic acid (M), and hydrazine sulfate (HS) in the presence of fuming sulfuric acid. Homopolymers of M and T and various copolymers of M:T were prepared. The polymers were characterized by viscosity, IR, UV, and elemental analysis. Their solubility in different solvents was investigated. The relative thermal stability of the polymers was evaluated
