Abstract
The invention provides copolymers having magnetic properties, said copolymers containing aminoaromatic groups, and being based on a structural unit comprising: a first group of aminoaromatic compounds chosen from aniline derivatives and the corresponding iminoquinone forms; and a second group of substituted aminoaromatic compounds chosen from substituted amino compounds containing at least two condensed benzene rings, substituted polycyclic compounds containing at least one aniline structural unit in their structure, compounds derived from aniline and carrying a substituent bonded to the ring by means of an ethynylidene or paraphenylene link, and the corresponding iminoquinone compounds.
Claims12
A method of manufacturing a copolymer, said method being characterized in that it comprises:
- a first step during which the following are copolymerized, in solution or in suspension:
- a first monomer which is an aniline optionally substituted with the --CF.sub.3 radical, or with a substituent having the formula --A--Z, in which A is a hydrocarbon radical of 2 to 8 carbon atoms in which radical at least one heteroatom selected from the group consisting of O and S is present and Z is at least one proton donor substituent or one of the salts thereof;
- and a second monomer which is a substituted aminoaromatic compound selected from the group consisting of substituted amino compounds containing at least two condensed benzene rings, substituted polycyclic compounds containing at least one aniline structural unit in their structure, compounds formed directly from aniline and having a substituent bonded to the ring by means of an ethynylidene or paraphenylene link, and the corresponding iminoquinone compounds;
- and
- a second step during which the resulting copolymer is separated from the reactive medium,
- wherein said copolymer has magnetic properties, said copolymer comprising structural units comprising:
- a first group of aminoaromatic compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds formed directly from aniline and the corresponding quinone forms;
- and
- a second group of substituted aminoaromatic compounds selected from the group consisting of substituted amino compounds containing at least two condensed benzene rings, substituted polycyclic compounds containing at least one aniline structural unit in their structure, compounds formed directly from aniline and having a substituent bonded to the ring by an ethynylidene or paraphenylene link, and the corresponding quinone compounds,
- wherein the substituted amino compounds contain at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of nitro, nitroso, fluoro, chloro, bromo, sulfonic, phosphonic and carboxylic substituents.
A method of making a copolymer, comprising a process step in which a copolymer carrying a proton donor substrate is salified with a voluminous base,
- wherein said copolymer has magnetic properties, said copolymer comprising structural units comprising:
- a first group of aminoaromatic compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds formed directly from aniline and the corresponding quinone forms;
- and
- a second group of substituted aminoaromatic compounds selected from the group consisting of substituted amino compounds containing at least two condensed benzene rings, substituted polycyclic compounds containing at least one aniline structural unit in their structure, compounds formed directly from aniline and carrying a substituent bonded to the ring by an ethynylidene or paraphenylene link, and the corresponding quinone compounds.
