| Abstract: | Novel aromatic hetero polymers, polybenzoylenebenzimidazoquinazolines, were prepared. These polymers were synthesized by the polymerization of bis-o-aminophenylbenzimidazoles with aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides in organic solvents, followed by cyclocondensation of the polyamic acids in polyphosphoric acid. In the resulting polymers the o-phenylenediamine component behaved trifuntionally and the connecting groups were tricyclic fused rings that contained seven-membered rings. These polymers some of which has a ladder-type structure, exhibited excellent thermal properties. |
