Poly(N-arylenebenzimidazole sulfone), PNABIS, has been prepared via the aromatic nucleophilic displacement reaction of 1,4-bis(2-benzimidazolyl) benzene (BBIB) with bis(4-fluorophenyl) sulfone. BBIB was synthesized by the reaction of terephthalaldehydic acid with 1,2-phenylenediamine in polyphosphoric acid. The chemical structure of BBIB was confirmed by FT-IR, high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and NMR spectroscopy. The characterization of the polymer was performed with FT-IR, NMR spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and solubility tests. The polymer was obtained in quantitative yield with Mn value 11000 and Mw value 25300, respectively. TGA measurements show that 5% weight loss temperature is 532 °C in nitrogen and 331 °C in air, respectively. In addition, the novel polymer exhibits good solubility, which can be dissolved in common organic solvent at room temperature. |
