Structure et proprietes thermodynamiques de polyamides rigides portant ces groupes lateraux flexibles

Sanidics: A new class of mesophases, displayed by highly substituted rigid-rod polyesters and polyamides

1990

Abstract The structure of rigid-chain polyesters and polyamides which possess flexible side chains consisting of methylene or 1,4,7-trioxaoctyl oxide units have been investigated by means of X-ray scattering. The X-ray studies were performed on fibres and monodomains. Additional information was gained from calorimetric, dilatometric and microscopic studies. The investigations revealed that these polymers display mesophases and that the structures of the mesophases differ from those observed for discotic and calamitic phases. They are characterized by the fact that in the ordered and disordered phases board-like molecules are stacked parallel on top of each other and that these stacks of mol…

Etude de polyesters avec du triphenylene ou du benzene comme cœur du discogene et des espaces flexibles alkylene

1991

The sanidic polyamide [NM-Ph(CO 2 R) 3 (CO 2 Me)-NMCO-Ph(OR) 2 CO] n (R=C 12 H 25 ) is studied. It is shown that this polymer has a biaxial structure with quasi 2-D long range translational correlations. The correlations in one direction are limited by the length of the molecule. The oriented regions are separated by regions in which the molecules are less oriented
