Synthesis of rigid rod polymers

I. Diphenylthiazolothiazole pendant group

  • Published:
Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Rigid rod polymers containing long rigid side chains have been prepared. The initial approach to this class of materials involved the synthesis of a poly (p-phenyleneterephthalamide) (PPT) backbone with diphenylthiazolothiazole pendant groups. The synthesis and preliminary characterization of the monomer and polymer are reported.
