Polycondensation Products of Phloroglucine with Difunctional Aliphatic Amines

The known reaction of condensation of a strong amine with phloroglucine under quite mild conditions was the starting point for synthesis of a new series of macromolecular resins not previously dèscribed. Phloroglucine has been condensed with a series of nine aliphatic diamines in aqueous solution under atmospheric pressure. The resins obtained are dark powders, which can be molded under increased pressure in the temperature range of 175–310°C. The thermal, mechanical, chemical, and electrical properties of the new resins have been examined and their structure confirmed. Some properties of resins can be calculated by means of approximate mathematical formulas.
