This work describes mainly the synthesis and characterization of new co-polyimides obtained from the polycondensation of the dianhydride 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphtlialic anhydride (6FDA), 4,4'-oxydianiline (ODA) and the new diamine 3,5-diamino-N-(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)benzamide (PyDA). It describes as the different compositions of ODA and PyDA present in the polymers. produce variation on thermal and mechanical properties, which are important characteristics for the development of future nanocomposites derived from these polymers. Both PyDA monomer and polymers were characterized using FT-IR and NMR (H-1, C-13, F-19, dept 135 degrees, COSY, HMBC, HMQC) spectroscopy. The inherent viscosity of polymers is between 0.3 to 1.49 dL/g, they are soluble in aprotic polar solvents, such as: DMSO, DMF and DMA. In addition, all co-polymers showed thermal decomposition temperature and glass transition temperatures above 483 degrees C and 289 degrees C, respectively. Mechanical tests under tension of co-polymer films showed Young's modulus between 2.1-3.9 GPa and tensile strength between 35.5 and 120.0 MPa. On the other hand, an increase in crystallinity and hydrophilicity is observed when increasing the amount of pyridinyl groups.
