摘要
A series of dimer acid-based polyamides were synthesized by melt-polycondensation of dimer acid and various aromatic diamines, and were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrum （FT-IR） and nuclear magnetic resonance （^1H NMR）. The physical properties of the polyamides, such as glass transition temperature, melting temperature, decomposition temperature and mechanical properties were also investigated. The polyamides＇ intrinsic viscosity ranges from 1.8 dL·g^-1 to 2.2 dL·g^-1, and the melting temperature ranges from 140 ℃ to 181 ℃. The glass transition temperatures, observed from dynamic mechanical analysis, fall in the range of 34.8-48.2 ℃. The physical and mechanical properties of the resultant polyamides are similar to those of the PA1212. The heat resistance and mechanical properties of poly （4, 4′-diphenylsulfone dimeramide） （PSD） and poly（4, 4′-di pb enyl dimeramide） （PPDI） are comparable to those of PA 1212.
