New monomers and polymers via Diels-Alder cycloaddition
The series of new bis(naphthalic anhydrides) was prepared through Diels-Alder cycloaddition. The Diels-Alder cycloaddition was used as a synthetic route to new phenylated monomers as well as to polymers. All polymers synthesized revealed to be soluble in a wide range of organic solvents such as toluene,THF, chloroform, and displayed high thermostability. Therefore, they can be processed easily and are promising candidates for advanced coating systems as well as for electrooptical applications
