Abstract

T. V. Rajendiran* and A. Jayanthi

Fifteen new azopolyamides have been synthesized from 2,2 1 - dimethoxy – 4, 4 1 – diamino azobenzene [(benzenamine – (3,31 - dimethoxy – 4,4 1 – azo ) bis ] condensed with different diacids / diacid chlorides, following low – temperature solution or phosphorylation or interfacial polycondensation method. These polyamides were characterized interms of viscosity, solubility, UV – Visible, FT – IR and X–ray diffraction studies. Thermal stability of these polyamides was studied using TGA and DTA methods.
