Aramid copolymer
View Patent ↗The invention concerns polymer comprising 2-(4-amino phenyl)-5 (6) amino benzimidazole (DAPBI), PPD, and terephthaloyl dichloride, the polymer having a IPC peak block ratio of 1.52 to 1.56 and an inherent viscosity of greater than 2 dl/g.
1. A polymer comprising 2-(4-amino phenyl)-5 (6) amino benzimidazole (DAPBI), PPD, and terephthaloyl dichloride, the polymer having a IPC peak block ratio of 1.52 to 1.56 and an inherent viscosity of greater than 2 dl/g.
2. The polymer of claim 1 having an inherent viscosity of 4 dl/g or greater.
3. The polymer of claim 1 , having a IPC peak block ratio of 1.53 to 1.55.
4. The polymer of claim 1 wherein said polymer is capable of being dissolved in a solvent system comprising (i) N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) or dimethylacetamide (DMAC) and (ii) an inorganic salt; wherein said polymer is capable of being redissolved in said solvent system after said polymer has been removed from said solvent system.
5. The polymer of claim 4 having an inherent viscosity of greater than 2 dl/g.
6. The polymer of claim 5 having an inherent viscosity of 4 dl/g or greater.
