C. Hamciuc et al., THE EFFECT OF THE ROTATION HINDRANCE ON PHYSICAL-PROPERTIES OF SOME HETEROCYCLIC POLYAMIDES CONTAINING PENDENT IMIDE GROUPS, Die Angewandte makromolekulare Chemie, 254, 1998, pp. 67-74
Conformational parameters of a series of heterocyclic polyamides with
pendent imide groups were calculated by the Monte Carlo method with al
lowance for hindered rotation. Several physical properties of these po
lymers, such as solubility, glass transition temperature and initial d
ecomposition temperature were experimentally measured and discussed in
relation with the rigidity of their chains. Some relationships have b
een shown.
