ABSTRACTMoisture absorption and its effect on electrical properties were measured for several polyimides. A Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) was used to investigate the moisture absorption in BPDA/PPD, PMDA/ODA, and BTDA//ODA/MPD polyimides. The steady-state moisture uptake in polyimides as a function of relative humidity (RH) was determined by exposing film samples to successively higher RH values ranging from 10 to 85% at 25°C. The isothermal moisture absorption as a function of percent RH was found to be nearly linear for all of the polyimides studied. The effect of moisture on the electrical properties of a BPDA/PPD polyimide was also investigated. The relative dielectric constant at 25 °C was found to be a linear function of the moisture absorbed.
