Studies of Some Newer Polyhydrazides Containing Amide Linkages. Part 1

Abstract

Abstract An attempt has been made to prepare some new polyamide hydrazides of high thermal stability with different dicarboxylic acid chlorides by the solution polymerization technique. The polymerization was carried out at -20°C. Amide linkage was present in each polymer unit. Results of thermal degradation and thermogravimetric analysis indicate that these polymers melt or decompose above 350°C, and the steep weight loss of the polymer takes place in the range 360–390°C. Most of the polyhydrazides are soluble in organic solvents.
