以3,5-二硝基苯甲酰氯、雌二醇及溴代正辛烷为原料合成了含有稠环结构的新型功能性二胺(H8-c)。用1,2,3,4-环丁烷四甲酸二酐(CBDA)、对苯二胺(PDA)及H8-c共聚制备了一种聚酰亚胺(PI)液晶垂直取向剂。该PI膜作为取向层制得的液晶盒,在120℃下烘烤12h仍可垂直取向,拥有良好的垂直取向热稳定性。热重分析(TGA)测试表明其具有良好的热稳定性,在氮气中,这种PI的5%热失重温度(T5)和10%热失重温度(T10)分别高达400℃和480℃。紫外可见光谱(UV-vis)显示此PI膜在400nm以上具有高的透过率,可达95%以上。
A novel functional diamine(H8-c) with thick ring and long alkoxy was synthesized from 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride,estradiol and 1-Bromooctane.A polyimide(PI),applied in liquid crystal(LC) vertical orientation agent,was prepared from p-phenylenediamine(PDA),1,2,3,4-cyclobutanetetracarboxylicdianhydride(CBDA) and H8-c.The PI possessed excellent vertical alignment for nematic LC.The vertical alignment of LC cell which was kept at 120 ℃ for 12 h was still stable.It could be seen that the thermal stability of the vertical alignment of LC was excellent.The temperature at 5% weight loss of the PI(T5) is as high as 400 ℃ in nitrogen.The temperature at 10% weight loss of the PI(T10) is as high as 480 ℃ in nitrogen.The PI film exhibited high transparency(95%) at wavelengths above 400 nm.
