A novel fluorinated diimide dicarboxylic acid, 4,4x2032;-bis(4-trimellitimido-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)biphenyl (III), was synthesized from the condensation of 4,4x2032;-bis(4-amino-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)biphenyl (I) and trimellititc anhydride. A series of soluble poly(amide-imide)s (PAI) Vax2013;h having inherent viscosities of 0.56x2013;0.97 dL/g were prepared from reacting III with an equivalent amount of diamines by direct polycondensation using triphenyl phosphite and pyridine as condensing agents. The polymer V series afforded tough, transparent, and flexible films. They had tensile strengths ranging from 88 to 112 MPa, elongations at break from 8 to 31 % , and initial moduli from 1.9 to 2.7 GPa. The glass-transition temperature (Tg) of the polymers was recorded at 235x2013;300x2009;○C. They had 10 % weight loss at a temperature above 502x2009;○C and left more than 54 % residue even at 800x2009;○C in nitrogen. In comparison with the nonfluorinated PAI VI series, the fluorinated V exhibited better solubility.
