TRIAZINE-BASED POLYMERS .1. SYNTHESIS OF 4-DICHLORO-6-ETHOXY-S-TRIAZINE)-ALT-(BISPHENOL-A)]

[(2,4-dichloro-6-ethoxy-s-triazine)-alt-(bisphenol A)] (T-BPA), a poly mer with interesting mechanical and thermal properties, was synthesize d by phase transfer catalysed interfacial polycondensation. The reacti on conditions for the synthesis of T-BPA were investigated and optimiz ed. The influence of several reaction parameters, such as temperature, reaction time, type and concentration of phase transfer catalyst, con centration of monomers, type of solvent, type of base, salt addition, and molecular weight terminator concentration on the reduced specific viscosity and yield of T-BPA was investigated. As a result, it is poss ible to synthesize T-BPA at reaction conditions being favourable with regard to the costs of energy and equipment.
