Ii. Ponomarev et al., NEW RIGID-CHAIN COPOLY(NAPHTHOYLENEIMIDOB ENZIMIDAZOLES) AND THEIR FILMS, Vysokomolekularnye soedinenia. Seria A, 36(9), 1994, pp. 1429-1437
New copoly(naphthoyleneimidobenzimidazoles) were synthesized on the ba
sis of 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride, 5(6)-amino-2(p-
aminophenyl)benzimidazole, and aromatic rigid-rod diamines. The streng
th parameters of films based on these polymers increase sharply both i
n the initial and in an oriented state if the material contains 20 - 4
0 mol % of rodlike fragments. The ultimate tensile strength of an orie
nted film material based on a polymer containing 30 mol % diphenyl uni
ts reaches 1.5 GPa with the elasticity modulus of 38 GPa.
