本論文探討雙酚A於酸性條件下分別和m-cresol與3,4-dimethylphenol之反應情形。實驗預期該反應可分別獲得階梯狀(Ladder)單體X-1、X-2與螺環狀(Spiro)單體SC-1、SC-2,結果顯示,溫度、反應物比例、觸媒量與時間之調控皆是決定是否可獲得螺環單體SC-1及SC-2之重要影響因素。 所得之單體經由官能化後將運用於高性能高分子材料製備,由階梯狀單體衍生物XA-1製備出之聚醯胺材料將表現出優異的熱性質,且SCA-1之單體反應性將進一步於本論文中探討。單體反應過程之副產物SI,藉由純化後可用以製備聚醚碸高分子,並在本論文中將與一般雙酚A型聚醚碸進行性質比較。
In this thesis we investigated the reaction phenomenon of bisphenol A with m-cresol and 3,4-dimethylphenol, respectively. We expected to get ladder monomers X-1, X-2 and spiro monomers SC-1, SC-2, respectively by the reaction. The result suggested that temperature, ratio of reactants, amount of catalyst and control of time were the important factors that determined the accessibility to the spiro monomers. The obtained monomer would be applied in the preparation of high performance polymer after functionalization. Polyamide made by ladder monomer XA-1 exhibit excellent thermal properties, while the reactivity of SCA-1 monomer would be investigated in the thesis. SI monomer, the by product of the monomer's reaction, could be made into polyether sulfone, and its properties would be compared to that made of bisphenol A in the thesis.
