Abstract Linear polyimides based on both of the 2,2´-diamino-1,1´-binaphthalene enantiomers and their
racemic mixture were synthesized and characterized. A two-step synthetic route, consisting of
the preparation of the polyimide precursor followed by its thermal imidization at temperatures
not exceeding 200°C, was employed. The products were analyzed by FTIR and 1
H NMR
spectroscopy. All of the tested materials were nearly fully imidized after 25 h. The final polyimides
possess high glass transition temperatures, are thermo-oxidatively stable and are soluble in
common organic solvents as 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, tetrahydrofuran and chloroform; additionally,
those prepared from the enantiomers show optical activity. The values of specific… More >
