Polymers from Renewable Resources. Part 5. Synthesis and Properties of a Polyamideimide from Rosin

Abstract
Polyamideimide was synthesized from rosin-maleic anhydride imidodicarboxylic acid chloride (RMIDC) and bis-(p-aminocyclo-hexyl) methane (PACM-20). The polymer was characterized by nitrogen analysis and IR spectroscopy. The inherent viscosity value of the polymer was found to be low, indicating its low molecular weight. The polymer was found to be soluble in highly polar solvents. The solubility parameter of the polymer was calculated from Small's group contribution and determined experimentally from solubility map. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) showed that the polymer was fairly thermostable.
