The study synthesized an oligoimide containing both propargyl and phthalonitrile groups, which demonstrated the potential for cross-linking at temperatures between 300-350 degrees Celsius. With good solubility in solvents and low melt viscosity, this compound exhibited excellent thermal and mechanical properties.
Oligoimide containing propargyl and phthalonitrile groups in one molecule (OI-PR-PN) was synthesized by a facile and eco-friendly method in benzoic acid melt. To incorporate side propargyl groups into the polyimide backbone, a new monomer was developed - 5-(2-propyn-1-yloxy) benzene-1,3-diamine (PBD). The OI-PR-PN dual-curing behavior was studied by DSC and FT-IR methods. The curing of phthalonitrile groups can be promoted by the intermediates formed during the propargyl groups polymerization. This allows cross-linking of phthalonitrile groups at 300-350 degrees C in one component system. OI-PR-PN showed good solubility in low boiling point solvents and had low melt viscosity (up to 8 Pas at 250 degrees C). The temperatures of 10% weight loss of the cross-linked OI-PR-PN and oligoimide containing only propargyl groups (OI-PR) are 496 degrees C and 450 degrees C correspondingly. The completely cured OI-PR-PN glass transition temperature measured by dynamic mechanical analysis was 424 degrees C with a storage modulus 4.2 GPa at 50 degrees C. The possibility of cross-linking without using curing additives with a combination of excellent thermal and mechanical properties indicates the potential of OI-PR-PN as a matrix for composite manufacturing.
