Pyromellitic dianhydride → Pmda 4-aba

Participants

Reaction Steps

20.94 g (0.096 mol) of PMDA, 11.00 g (0.09 mol) of 4-ABA and 3.49 g (0.01 mol) of DAHOB were reacted in 201 g of NMP at room temperature for 5 hours to prepare a polyamic acid solution. The polymerization reaction proceeded easily and uniformly, and the molecular weights were measured in the same manner as in Preparation Example 1 and as a result, a solution of a polyamic acid having a number average molecular weight of 7,038 and a weight average molecular weight of 12,695 was obtained. Further, to this solution, poor solvents BCS and NMP were added so that the polyamic acid concentration would be 5 mass % and the BCS concentration would be 20 mass % to prepare a liquid crystal aligning agent.
