2,2'-dimethyl-4,4'-bis (4-aminophenoxy) biphenyl, and polymers prepared therefrom by polycondensation

摘要

A new diamine, 2,2'-dimethyl-4,4'-bis(4-aminophenoxy)-biphenyl was synthesized and used to prepare high performance engineering plastics by polycondensation. The new diamine as shown in the following formula has a noncoplanar 2,2'-disubstituted biphenylene and a flexible aryl units: ##STR1## The engineering plastics disclosed in the present invention includes polyamides, polyimides and poly(amide-imide)s.
