Abstract:

A series of sulfonated polybenzimidazoles(SPBI) was prepared via the condensation polymerization of 1,4-bis(4-carboxyphenoxy)benzene-2-sulfonate, 4,4'-dicarboxydiphenyl ether and 3,3'-diaminobenzidine in phosphorus pentoxide/methanesulfonic acid in a mass ratio of 1∶10. The structures and properties of sulfo-nated polybenzimidazoles were confirmed by FTIR, NMR and TGA. They show good solubility in polar solvents, high thermal stability, good film forming ability and excellent mechanical properties.

Key words: Sulfonated polybenzimidazole(SPBI), Sodium 1,4-bis(4-carboxyphenoxy)benzene-2-sulfonate(BCPOBS-Na), Solubility
