2,2'-Bis (5-chloroformyl 2-furyl) propane and various aromatic diamines were used as monomers in the study of their interfacial polycondensation and the properties of the ensuing furanic-aromatic polyamides. The effects of such variables as the nature of the organic phase, the temperature, the reaction time, and the type and concentration of the catalyst were investigated as well as the properties of the polyamides in terms of structure, average chain length, T-g, T-m and thermal stability.
