Abstract

A new diamine monomer was synthesized by condensing 4,4'-methylene dianiline with 1,4-benzoquinone. The monomer was condensed with 3,3',4,4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride to give a polyamic acid that was soluble in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone. The polyamic acid was cast onto iron and thermally imidized to give the amine-quinone polyimide (AQPI-2). AQPI-2 had a thermal decomposition temperature (10% weight loss) of 540°C and a glass transition near 290°C, values typical of polyimides. The degradation of the coating on iron after exposure to NaCl electrolyte was followed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Under these conditions a conventional polyimide failed after 3 days exposure, while AQPI-2 showed no change after 34 days exposure. The adhesive bond between the amine-quinone polyimide and the iron surface was so strong that it could not be broken by the electrolyte.
