Preparation and performance of crosslinked poly(arylene ether)s containing azobenzene chromophores
A series of novel poly(arylene ether)s with crosslinked groups and different azobenzene chromophores contents (azo-CPAEs: PAE-allyl20%-azo20%, PAE-allyl20%-azo40%, PAE-allyl20%-azo60%) were synthesized from a new bisfluoro monomer, (2,6-difluorophenyl)-(4-hydroxyphenyl)methanone.

description | A series of novel poly(arylene ether)s with crosslinked groups and different azobenzene chromophores contents (azo-CPAEs: PAE-allyl20%-azo20%, PAE-allyl20%-azo40%, PAE-allyl20%-azo60%) were synthesized from a new bisfluoro monomer, (2,6-difluorophenyl)-(4-hydroxyphenyl)methanone. Their chemical structures were characterized by means of UV-vis and FI-IR. The thermal properties of the polymers were investigated by TGA and DSC, indicating the polymers had high glass transition temperatures (Tg > 147 °C) and good thermal stability (Td5 > 360 °C) even when the contents of azobenzene chromophores was high to 60%. And the influence of thermal crosslinking on the performance of PAE-allyl20%-azo20%, a typical one of the series, was investigated. Tg of PAE-allyl20%-azo20% increased with the increase of heating time when heat-treated at 250 °C for 20, 40 and 60 min, indicating the crosslink degree of the polymer increased. After heat-treated for 60 min, Tg of PAE-allyl20%-azo20% increased to 175 °C from 147 °C before thermal crosslinking. Upon irradiation with a 532 nm neodymium doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser beam, the remnant value of the polymer PAE-allyl20%-azo20% before and after the thermal crosslinking were 81 and 96%, respectively, meaning that the PAE-allyl20%-azo20% after thermal crosslink showed more stable photoinduced alignment than that before thermal crosslinking. |
