Abstract The main aim of this research was to study the electrochemical behavior of novel
optically active poly (amide-imide) s (PAIs). Polycondensation reactions of a 3, 5-diamino-N-
(4-hydroxyphenyl) benzamide with different synthetic diacid chlorides derivatives based on
natural amino acids resulted in preparation of five different aromatic–aliphatic PAIs. These
polymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, proton nuclear magnetic
resonance, and elemental analyses. Also, we used electrochemical impedance ...
