Synthesis and Characterization of Fluorene-Imidazole Copolymers
New PAF derivatives [poly(fluorene-co-1,3-diphenylimidazolium chloride) 7 and poly(fluorene-co-1,3-diphenylimidazol-2-thione) 9] with high thermal stability were synthesized and their physical and optical properties were investigated. The obtained polymers were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, DSC, TGA, GPC, and SEM-EDX. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed excellent thermal stability of the resulting polymers. Initial weight loss (5 %) was observed around 700 K, with the main decomposition occurring around 760 K (50 %).
