New functional polymers obtained by amination of PVC
A new procedure for introduction of aromatic diamines into polymer, in particular into poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) molecule, was developed. Produced materials have attractive properties such as combination of good film-forming, coating and adhesive features (especially adhesion to hard-to-adhere substrates, as glass) and functionalization possibilities. Free pendent amine groups enable nucleophilic additions with fullerene molecule C-60, for creating especial properties of such a film.
