Ml. Keshtov et al., Poly(imides) based on 4,4 '-bis(2,3,6,-triphenyl-4,5-dicarboxyphenyl)benzophenone dianhydride, POLYM SCI B, 43(3-4), 2001, pp. 69-72
A new hexaphenyl-substituted monomer-dianhydride of 4,4'-bis(2,3,6-tripheny
l-4,5-dicarboxy-phenyl)benzophenone-was synthesized. The reaction of this c
ompound with varying aromatic diamines yielded a series of new phenylated p
oly(imides), the majority of which are soluble in various organic solvents.
The thermal, mechanical, electrical, and optical properties of the resulti
ng polymers were studied.
