Title: Polyimide/Polyimide Molecular Composite Films: Difference between Reactive Oligoimide and Reactive Polyimide as the Matrix Component
Abstract: Polyimide/polyimide molecular composite (MC) films were prepared by blending precursor solutions of a rigid polyimide and a reactive oligoimide or a reactive polyimide that contains acetylene units in the backbone in a 7:3 ratio, followed by casting, drying and thermal imidization at 300 °C. 3, 3′, 4, 4′-Biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), p-phenylenediamine (PDA), oxydianiline (ODA) and 3, 3′-diaminodiphenylacetylene ( m-intA) were used as acid dianhydride and diamine monomers for the preparation of polyimide. The rigid components were prepared from PMDA or BPDA and PDA. The matrix components were prepared from PMDA or BPDA and ODA or m-intA. The polyimide/polyimide MCs have exotherm on DSC due to the reaction of internal acetylene units, which indicates that the MC films are laminate processable. Tensile measurements revealed that the tensile modulus of the MCs utilizing reactive oligoimides is 20–30% higher than that of the MCs utilizing reactive polyimides. Viscoelastic analyses of the MC films showed that the crosslinking of the acetylene units gave polyimides that have a very high glass transition temperature.
