Poly(Enaminonitriles) Containing Biphenyl and Terphenyl Rings in the Main Chain

Abstract

We have been studying vinylic nucleophilic substitution as a route to the preparation of novel polymers which exhibit an unusual array of physical properties including excellent solubility in simple, non-aggressive solvents, outstanding thermal stability and relatively high dielectric constants. To improve dielectric and thermomechanical properties as well as to demonstrate the general utility of this synthetic approach, several new bis(chlorovinylidene cyanides) containing biphenyl and terphenyl units have been prepared and polymerized. Thermal and electrical properties of these new materials are discussed.
