The synthesis and characterization of a series of new sulfonated copoly(triazole imide)s (PTPQSH‐XX) are reported in this work. The PTPQSH‐XX with different degree of sulfonation (DS) were prepared by click polymerization of equimolar amounts of a diimide‐based dialkyne monomer, namely bis‐N,N′‐(prop‐2‐ynyl)pyromellitic diimide (TP) and a mixture of two different diazide monomers (one sulfonated, 4,4‐bis[3′‐trifluoromethyl‐4′{4‐azidobenzoxy} benzyl] biphenyl, and another nonsulfonated, 4,4′‐diazido‐2,2′‐stilbene disulfonic acid disodium salt [SAZ]), in different molar ratios. The copolymers showed high inherent viscosity (1.12–1.28 dL/g) in n‐methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) indicating the formation of high molar masses. Freestanding membranes were prepared from these copolymers by solution casting method. DS of the copolymers was determined from 1H NMR signal intensities, and the values were in good agreement with the quantity of SAZ monomer used in polymer feed, indicating the successful incorporation of the sulfonated monomer. The copolymers exhibited high thermal and mechanical stabilities. The PTPQSH‐80 membrane showed proton conductivity as high as 178 mS/cm at 90°C with good oxidative and hydrolytic stability. Cross‐sectional transmission electron microscope micrographs of the membranes indicated phase segregated morphology along with interconnected hydrophilic domains with dimension in the range 15–150 nm.

Sulfonic acid groups containing aromatic polyimides are of great interest as polymer electrolyte membranes owing to their high thermal and mechanical stability, strong resistance to fuel crossover, excellent film-forming ability, and high proton conductivity. However, these polymers generally experience reduced oxidative permanence. To alleviate the problems associated with the oxidative stability, the present work reports the synthesis and characterization of a new series of sulfonated copolyimides (co-SPIs) using 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene 10-oxide (DOPO) containing diamine monomer as one of the comonomers. The synthesized sulfonated copolyimides were soluble in numerous organic solvents and exhibited reasonably high inherent viscosity that allows us to prepare high-quality membranes by a solution casting route. The structural elucidation and the sulfonic acid content in the polymers were verified from the integral values of the proton NMR signals. FTIR and 31P NMR were also used for stru...

A series of new semifluorinated polyimide (PI) films with phosphaphenanthrene skeleton were prepared by thermal imidization of poly(amic acid)s derived from a diamine monomer: 1,1-bis[2′-trifluoromethyl-4′-(4″-aminophenyl)phenoxy]-1-(6-oxido-6H-dibenz⟨c,e⟩⟨1,2⟩oxaphosphorin-6-yl)ethane on reaction with four structurally different aromatic dianhydrides. The chemical structures of the polymers were established by Fourier transform infrared and 1H NMR spectroscopy techniques. The polymers showed a good combination of thermal and mechanical properties (Td10 up to 416 °C under synthetic air and tensile strength up to 91 MPa), low dielectric constant (2.10–2.55 at 1 MHz), and Tg values as high as 261 °C. Gas permeabilities of these films were investigated for four different gases CO2, O2, N2, and CH4. The PI films showed high gas permeability (PCO2 up to 175 and PO2 up to 64 barrer) with high permselectivity (PCO2/PCH4 up to 51 and PO2/PN2 up to 7.1), and the values are better than those of many other similar polymers reported earlier. For the O2/N2 gas pair, the PIs (PI A) surpassed the present upper boundary limit drawn by Robeson. A detailed molecular dynamics (MD) simulation study has been conducted to understand better the gas-transport properties. The effect of phosphaphenanthrene skeleton, its spatial arrangement, and size distribution function of the free volume were studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and the results are correlated with the experimental data.

ABSTRACTThis article reports the synthesis and characterization of a series of new aromatic polyimides (PIs) having bulky tert butyl group containing propeller shaped triphenylamine unit in its structure. The PIs were prepared by the reaction of 4,4′‐diamino‐4″‐(2,4,6‐tri‐tert‐butylphenoxy) triphenylamine with different commercially available aromatic dianhydrides through the formation of corresponding poly(amic acid)s and subsequent thermal cycloimidization. The PIs showed high glass transition temperature (Tg up to 270 °C) and thermal stability (Td10 up to 475 °C). The PI membranes showed good mechanical properties with tensile strength up to 70 MPa, excellent separation performance [P(CO2) = 100.8, P(O2) = 40.4 barrer], and good permselectivity [P(CO2)/P(CH4) = 50.9, P(O2)/P(N2) = 7.6]. The membranes exhibited extremely high solubility selectivity for the CO2/CH4 gas pair due to the strong affinity between CO2 and nitrogen atoms of tertiary amine in triphenylamine. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AbstractA series of new fluorinated sulfonated copolytriazoles (PTHQSH‐XX) with ion exchange capacity (IECw) values ranging from 1.66 to 2.82 meq g−1 are prepared via cuprous ion catalyzed azide‐alkyne click polymerization reaction between 1,4‐bis(prop‐2‐ynyloxy)benzene, 4,4′‐diazido‐2,2′‐stilbene disulfonic acid disodium salt (SA), and 4,4‐bis[3′‐trifluoromethyl‐4′(4‐azidobenzoxy) benzyl] biphenyl (QAZ). The degree of sulfonation of the copolytriazoles is adjusted between 60% and 90% by varying the molar ratio of sulfonated monomer (SA) to the nonsulfonated monomer (QAZ). The structure of the copolytriazoles is characterized by Fourier transform infrared and NMR spectroscopy. The solution‐cast membranes of these copolymers exhibit high thermal, mechanical, oxidative and hydrolytic stability, and high proton conductivity (19–142 mS cm−1 at 80 °C and 22–157 mS cm−1 at 90 °C). Transmission electron microscopy confirms the formation of good phase separated morphology with ionic clusters in the range of 15–145 nm.

ABSTRACTA series of new semifluorinated poly(ether imide)s (PEI)s was synthesized from a diamine monomer, 9,9‐bis‐[3‐phenyl‐4‐{2′‐trifluoromethyl‐4′‐(4′′‐aminophenyl)phenoxy} phenyl]fluorene on reaction with three different aromatic dianhydrides namely, 4,4′‐(4,4′‐isopropylidenediphenoxy)bis(phthalic anhydride), 4,4'‐(hexafluoro‐isopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride, and 4,4'‐oxydiphthalic anhydride. The PEIs were well characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic, thermal, mechanical, electrical, and optical techniques. The synthesized PEIs showed high glass transition temperature (Tg up to 288 °C) and high thermal stability (Td,10 up to 521 °C under synthetic air), high tensile strength, up to 76 MPa and low dielectric constant (ɛ) (2.35–2.61 at 1 MHz). The membranes prepared from these polymers were studied for their gas permeability for four different gases CO2, O2, N2, and CH4. The PEI membranes showed high gas permeability (PCO2 up to 70.3 and PO2 up to 16.7 Barrer) and high permselectivity (PCO2/PCH4 up to 73.6 and PO2/PN2 up to 13.4); for the O2/N2 gas pair the PEIs surpassed the present upper boundary limit of 2008 drawn by Robeson. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AbstractA series of new polyamides (PAs) has been prepared from a Troeger base-bridged diamine (TB), 2,8- diamino-4,10-dimethyl-6H,12H-5,11-methanodibenzo[1,5]-diazocine and different commercially available diacid monomers via the conventional polycondensation method. Dense membranes were prepared from the PAs by solution casting and solvent evaporation techniques. The synthesized PAs showed high glass transition temperature (283–290°C), 10% weight loss up to temperature 431°C in air, and tensile strength up to 91 MPa. The PA membranes showed higher permeability than some commercially used glassy polymers (PCO2 up to 109 and PO2 up to 21 Barrer) and permselectivity (PCO2/PCH4 up to 53.7 and PO2/PN2 up to 7.52) in comparison to many other PAs published in the literature.

Abstract A series of novel sulfonated polytriazole copolymers (PTFOSH-XX) was successfully prepared by the click reaction of 4,4′-(perfluoropropane-2,2-diyl)bis((prop-2-ynyloxy)benzene (TF), 4,4′-diazido-2,2′-stilbene disulfonic acid disodium salt (SAZ) and 4,4′-diazidodiphenyl ether (OAZ). The copolymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The copolymers showed high mechanical, thermal and oxidative stability and low swelling. The phase separated morphology of the membranes was confirmed from transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The membranes showed proton conductivity as high as 110 and 122 mS cm−1 at 80 and 90°C, respectively depending on the polymer repeat unit structure.
