Synthesis and electronic properties of comb-like polyamides bearing different contents of tetraaniline pendant groups

Abstract

Comb-like polyamides bearing different contents of tetraaniline pendant groups were synthesized via nucleophilic polymerization coupled with a post-functionalization method, and exhibit excellent solubility, good thermal stability and interesting spectroscopic properties. Their electronic properties, including conductivity, dielectricity, electroactivity, electrochromism and anticorrosion, were effectively adjusted and controlled by importing different numbers of tetraaniline pendant groups.
