Polycondensation ofAcidanhydrides with Aspargenyl Imide Diamine and Curing with Styrene as Smart Polymers

Abstract

In this paper some new condensed polymers were synthesized from reacting of
unsaturated acid anhydride such as maleic or methylnadicanhydrides, with Naspargenyl
imide diamine, which was prepared from reacting of aspargenyl chloride
with ammonia. The new condensed polymers were cured with styrene and the cross
linked polymers were obtained with high percent conversion. The physical properties
of these polymer were measured . The monomers and the corresponding polymers
were characterized by FT-IR and UV. spectroscopy. The intrinsic viscosity was
calculated and swelling% was studied for the prepared cross linked polymers.
The inserted aspargen as amino acid could enhance the biodegradability
properties, and the prepared polymers can be used as biomaterial in different
applications, such as smart polymers due to their sensitivity to pH change.
