Abstract

Results are given of investigating the structure and mechanical properties of a polyimide series prepared using the dianhydride of pyromellitic acid and diamines characterized by chemical structure. It was found that mechanical properties of fibres of this series depend on the ability of macromolecules to form ordered structures. Polyimides with low elasticity moduli do not crystallize during heat treatment of fibres. It was shown that to obtain ordered structures in the fibre, it is essential to consider the ratio of the form and cross sectional dimension of diamine and dianhydride components of the chain and bear in mind that the pyromellitimide fragment is the “initiator” of intermolecular packing of macromolecules of this series.

Methods of investigation X-ray method of determining deformation force constants of complicated atom groups (polyimides with oxygen hinge atoms in diamine component)
1988, Polymer Science U.S.S.R.
In order to verify the X-ray method of determining deformation force constants of complicated atom groups, the compliance coefficients γ were calculated for the repeat units in a series of polyimides (PI) with oxygen hinge atoms in the diamine component. Good agreement of experimental and calculated γ values proves the correctness of the method. The relation between conformation and structure of chains composed of rod-like segments of various length separated by hinge groups is discussed. For alternating chains of the type-ABB- -ABB-, the most extended conformation is shown not to be planar.
The determination of crystallinity of new polymers (polyimides and other polyheteroarylenes)
1986, Polymer Science U.S.S.R.
Density data have been analyzed for 74 polyimides, polyamidoimides, polyesterimides, polyesteramidoimides and polyimidazopyrrolones, prepared by thermal imidization. It was shown that the molecular packing coefficient in the amorphous state for the above and all other classes of polymers is constant and equals K_a = 0·683. The packing coefficient in the crystalline state, K_c is constant only for similar classes of polymers. For polyheteroarylenes, K_c = 0·76. The constancy of K_a and K_c permits evaluation of the degree of crystallinity from the sample density and the chemical formula of the polymer.
An electron-microscopical study of the supermolecular morphology of polyfluorenylpyromellitimide
1984, Polymer Science U.S.S.R.
An electron microscopical study of the supermolecular structure of polyfluorenylpyromellitimide films and fibres, in the non-oriented and oriented state, has been carried out, after heat-treatment at 400–430°. Based on the results of electron microscope and X-ray studies, a model of the supermolecular structure is proposed. The main elements of the proposed structure are lamellae with extended chains.
The chemical structure and glass transition temperatures of polyarimides
1981, Polymer Science U.S.S.R.
Glass transition temperature have been calculated for 48 polyarimides, using the Askadskii-Slonimskii relation. A relationship has been found between glass transition temperatures, and the chain flexibility and number of imide rings providing for intermolecular interaction. It was found that the critical chain rigidity value is 0·67. If the rigidity exceeds 0·67, the glass transition temperatures of the polymers are determined solely by forces of intermolecular interaction between adjacent chains.
