SYNTHESIS OF AMINOQUINONE POLYMERS.
Abstract
Aminoquinone polymers of low molecular weight were synthesized from aliphatic, aromatic and disiloxane diamines with p-benzoquinones and 1,4 napthoquinones utilizing various polymerization techniques. No polymers could be formed from diamines and anthraquinones. The polymers were non-melting powders that were insoluble in conventional solvents but were generally soluble in formic and acetic acids, sulfuric acid and/or dimethylsulfoxide. The thermal stability of these polymers was only fair as DTA and TGA analyses indicated initial decomposition in the 250-325C range. In an oxygen flame, the polymers were reduced to ashes.
