Popis: | In this work, 4,4′-isopropylidenedicyclohexanol (HBPA)-based dinitro isomers mixture (H″BPBN and H′BPBN) was synthesized and separated, and the structures of dinitro isomers were confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. A series of copolyimides were prepared from diamino monomers with different percentages of novel diamine H″BPDA and 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride via a conventional two-step procedure. All the copolyimides could afford flexible, tough, and transparent films with transmittance no less than 73% at 450 nm, which was attributed to the fact that nonplanar alicyclic diamine and the bulky and weakly polarizable trifluoromethyl hampered the formation of charge-transfer complex. Moreover, all the copolyimides were soluble not only in polar solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide but also in low-boiling-point solvents such as dichloromethane, which was related to the fact that the existence of alicyclic diamine and bulky trifluoromethyl decreased the intermolecular force. In addition, the conformation effects of H″BPDA and H′BPDA on the aspects of thermal, mechanical, optical, and soluble performance of copolyimides were investigated and their structure–property relationships were discussed in detail. |
