Abstract

This work presents the synthesis and characterizaiton of three new poly(itaconate)s containing nitriles functional groups as high dipole moment entities and three different cycloalkyl pendant groups, in order to increase the rigidity of the system and therefore, their dipolar glass polymer temperature interval. The structural, thermal and dielectric characterization has been carried out in terms of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS), respectively. All polymers showed good thermal properties with degradation temperatures above 250 degrees C, presenting higher glass transition temperatures than those of recently reported poly(itaconate)s. Regarding dielectric properties, dielectric constant values between 4.0 and 4.3 (at 25 degrees C and 1 kl lz) and relative low loss tangent values (below 0.01) were obtained. BDS measurements showed in all cases, notorious sub -glass transitions even at temperatures below - 100 degrees C, resulting in a broad temperature interval in which these polymers could work without high dielectric losses. Therefore, these materials seem to be good candidates for dielectric applications such as energy storage, among others.
