摘要：

Amine-terminated and maleimide-terminated oligomers of molecular weight 1200–1800 based on 2,2′-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,4′-diaminobiphenyl and 3,3′,4,4′-biphenylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride were synthesized and characterized for lyotropic liquid crystalline behavior. Several different synthetic procedures were evaluated and a one-step procedure in m-cresol was found to be the most effective for producing fully imidized materials. Lyotropic behavior was observed only for the as-prepared solutions in m-cresol and in dilutions of this solution. Oligomer thermal stability was excellent, onsets of decomposition were in excess of 550°C. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
