In order to compare this method with classical heating, the polymerization reactions were also performed under solution polycondensation conditions. The polymerization reactions occurred rapidly under microwave conditions and produced a series of polyamides containing pendent acetoxynaphthalamide group, with good yields and moderate inherent viscosities of 0.26-0.45 dL/g. The comparable yields and higher inherent viscosities were obtained by microwave irradiation versus thermal heating with substantial reduction in reaction time.
