Synthesis of polyfunctional polyconjugated oligomers of 4-aminophenol and their use in obtaining of antistatic composite materials

Polyconjugated oligomers containing aromatic links with hydroxyl and amino functional groups were synthesized by oxidative polycondensation of 4-aminophenol. They exhibit solubility and fusibility, heat resistant, paramagnetic and semiconductor properties, and also high reactivity in reactions characteristic for aromatic hydroxyl groups. These oligomers were used as supplements to industrial polymers. Composite materials were obtained including a rubber with high physico-mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties.
