Poly [(benzo [l, 2-d: 4, 5-d'] bisthiazole-2, 6-diyl)-l, 4-phenylene](PBT) was prepared by the polycondensation of 2, 5-diamino-l, 4-benzenedithiol dihydrochloride with terephthalicacid in poly (phosphoric acid)(PPA). Polymerization mixtures with polymer concentrations between 5 and 10 wt% were liquid crystalline at early stages of conversion and were suitable for dry-jet wet spinning into high-modulus/high-strength fibers either directly from PPA or after isolationand redissolution in strong acids. Polymerization in the liquid crystalline state by using concentrations> 5% gave lower viscosity solutions than polymerizations that remained isotropic, owing to the use of polymerconcentrations of< 3%. The lower bulk viscosity for a given molecular weight facilitated the attainment of higher molecular weight samples. Intrinsic viscosities of isolated PBT measured in methanesulfonic acid were as high as 30.3 dL/g. PBT showed excellent thermal and oxidative stability as determined by vacuum thermogravimetric-mass spectral analysis and isothermal aging at 316 and 371 C. Rigid-rod poly (benzobisthiazoles) with various degrees of phenyl substitution were prepared but were soluble only at low concentrations in certain mixed solvents.
