Resumo

Abstract The precursor of polybenzimidazole (PBI), poly(3,3′‐diamino‐4,4′‐benzidine isophthalamide) (PDABI), was synthesized from poly(3,3′‐dinitro‐4,4′‐benzidine isophthalamide) (PDNBI) by reduction. With increasing temperature, the NH 2 moiety which was protected by SnCl 5 −1 could cyclize and form PBI. Blends with polyamic acid (LaRC‐TPI) were prepared. Clear blend films were prepared at up to 400°C. The IR spectra displayed shifts in the NH stretching band, thereby providing evidence for specific interactions related to the miscibility of their cured blends. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
