Abstract:

A series of ternary polysulfone copolymers with different contents of bisphenol fluorene were synthesized through polycondensation of bisphenol A, bisphenol fluorine, and 4,4⁃dichlorodiphenyl sulfone. The effects of reaction solvent, rea⁃ction time and salt forming agent on the polymerization were studied. The structure and properties of ternary polysulfone copolymers containing bisphenol fluorene were characterized using gel permeation chromatograph, Fourier⁃transform infrared spectrometer, and differential scanning calorimeter. The results indicated that the ternary copolymers with a number⁃ave⁃rage molecular weight higher than 2×104 were successfully synthesized at a reaction time of 4 h using N⁃methyl pyrrolidone as a reaction solvent and potassium carbonate as a salt forming agent. The heat resistance of the copolymers increased gradually with an increase in the content of bisphenol fluorene, and the decomposition temperature of the main chain was higher than 510 ℃. The copolymers presented a glass transition temperature of 254 ℃ at a bisphenol fluorene content of 80 mol%, and their transmittance was 84 % in the visible light range. This can meet the requirements of temperature resistance for aircrafts at high Mach number. This study establishes the basis of application for highly heat⁃resistant transparent materials.
