Abstract
AbstractA range of new fluorine‐containing copolyarylates were successfully produced through interfacial polymerization using hexafluorobisphenol A (BPAF) featuring a symmetric trifluoromethyl group structure, bisphenol B (BPB), and two acyl chloride monomers as raw materials. The results indicated that the synthesized amorphous copolyarylates exhibited good solubility, with number average molecular weights (Mn) of 19,000–44,000 g/mol, weight average molecular weights (Mw) of 66,000–159,000 g/mol, and intrinsic viscosities of 0.66–1.19 dL/g. The thermal stability of copolyarylates increased with the increase of BPAF monomer content (0~100%), which was manifested by the linear increase of glass transition temperature (Tg) from 201.6 to 237.1°C, and the increase of 5% thermogravimetric weight loss temperature (T5%) from 474.1 to 491.5°C. The tensile strength of copolyarylates ranged from 52.63 to 59.93 MPa, the tensile modulus ranged from 1102.08 to 1502.84 MPa, and the elongation at break ranged from 32.0 to 75.5%. In addition, the copolyarylates had good dielectric properties with a dielectric constant of 2.58–3.75 at 107 Hz and a dielectric loss tangent of 0.021–0.028.
