A series of new aromatic polyesters containing pendent naphthyl units was synthesized by phase-transfer-catalyzed interfacial polycondensation of these bisphenols with isophthaloyl chloride, terephthaloyl chloride, and a mixture of isophthaloyl chlorideiterephthaloyl chloride (50 : 50 mol %). Inherent viscosities of polyesters were in the range 0.83-1.76 dL g(-1), while number average molecular weights (M(n)) were in the range 61,000-235,000 g mol(-1). Polyesters were readily soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, m-cresol, pyridine, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetarnide, and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone at room temperature. Tough, transparent, and flexible films were cast from a solution of polyesters in chloroform. X-Ray diffraction measurements displayed a broad halo at 20 congruent to 19 degrees indicating the amorphous nature of polyesters. Glass transition temperatures of polyesters were in the range 209-259 degrees C. The temperature at 10% weight loss (T(10)), determined by TGA in nitrogen atmosphere, of polyesters was in the range 435-500 degrees C indicating their good thermal stability.

Inherent viscosities and number average molecular weights (M(n)) of polyesters were in the range 0.35-0.84 dL/g and 13300-48,500 (Gel Permeation Chromatography, polystyrene standard), respectively. Polyesters were readily soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, meta-cresol, pyridine, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, and 1-methy1-2-pyrrolidinone at room temperature and could be cast into tough, transparent and flexible films from their chloroform solutions. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction measurements revealed the amorphous nature of polyesters. The glass transition temperature of polyesters was in the range 207-287 degrees C. The temperature at 10% weight loss (T(10)), determined from thermogravimetric analysis of polyesters, was in the range 425-460 degrees C indicating their good thermal stability.
