Polyimides are attractive candidates for advanced electronic and space applications due to their high performance thermal and mechanical properties. However, the typical intractability and insolubility of polyimides has been a disadvantage. Utilization of the soluble intermediate amic acid can, to some extent, circumvent this problem. However, drawbacks to this approach include the hydrolytic instability of the amic acid and the liberation of water during its subsequent thermal cyclization. Residual stress build-up at the imide-substrate interface may occur due to swelling and drying cycles caused by the loss of water and solvent. In addition, the liberation of volatiles from a polyimide adhesive or coating can lead to the creation of voids which may significantly detract from mechanical properties. Polymeric adhesives must flow in order to provide good wetting of adherend surfaces and consolidation of the bond components. Thus, fully imidized, melt and solution processable, high Tg aromatic polyimides are of great interest.

The continuous glass fiber-reinforced polyarylene ether nitriles (PEN) composites were successfully fabricated from PEN pre-impregnated glass fabric mates and PEN films using a film-stacking method. The work involved heat treatment for crosslinking reaction of PEN, and so it provided an interesting comparison of how heat treatment can influence the properties of composites. Detailed study on heat treatments for crosslinking reaction of PEN in the catalysis of the ZnCl2 at high temperature promoting the thermal and mechanical properties of composites were also investigated. The results showed that the thermal and mechanical properties of composites were enhanced by heat treatment, which is due to the fact that PEN resins could be crosslinked by the catalytic action of ZnCl2 at high temperature and formed triazine rings with a more thermally stable structure.

ABSTRACTIn this research we have focused on the influence of thermal treatment for periods of time on the thermal and mechanical properties of extruded films of a series of high-performance thermotropic liquid crystal polymers (LCPs). The dependence of microstructure, thermal and mechanical properties on the extent of thermal treatment is investigated. Especially synthesized wholly aromatic LCPs based on hydroxybenzoic acid (B), hydroxynaphthoic acid (N), terephthalic acid (TA) and biphenol (BP) are kindly supplied by Hoechst Celanese Research Corp in the form of 50 μm thick extruded films. Thus, the influence of monomer composition is also studied in order to contrast the influence of molecular conformation. Thermal treatments are carried out at temperatures close to the solid-to-nematic transition (Ts→n) for up to several hours under dry air conditions. The results show a profound influence of thermal annealing on morphology and mechanical modulus when annealing is carried out c.a. 40ºC below Ts→n, where solid-to-nematic transition and Young’s modulus are significantly increased.

To improve the thermal and mechanical properties of polyimides, a nanocomposite of naphthalene containing polyimide (PI) was hybridized with Montmorillonite (MMT). The PI was synthesized from a diamine, 2,7-bis (4-aminophenoxy) naphthalene and polymerized with a 3,3’,4,4’-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride via thermal imidization. PI-MMT nanocomposites were then prepared from a DMAc solution of poly(amic acid) precursor and a DMAc dispersion of MMT which were organo-modified with various amount of n-dodecylamine. Characterization results demonstrated that the introduction of a small amount of MMT (up to 5%) led to enhanced thermal stability and mechanical properties of PI. The 5% weight loss temperature in N2 was increased by 46oC in comparison to pristine PI with an organoclay content of 5%. The CTE and dielectric constant were decreased. However, at organoclay contents higher than 5% these properties were reduced because the organoclay was poorly dispersed and resulted in aggregate formation.

Piezoelectricity in amorphous polymers is mainly due to the orientation polarization of the molecular dipoles. Aromatic polyimides are high-performance polymeric materials possessing large molecular dipoles. We already reported good magnetoelectric performance of laminate composites with Vitrovac 4040®as magnetostrictive component and the 2,6(b-CN)APB/ODPA (poli 2,6) polyimide as the piezoelectric. Although the piezoelectric response of this polyimide is good, its mechanical properties can be improved. To combine the best mechanical and piezoelectric response in the same polymer, copolyimides have been synthesized by reaction of the 4,4-oxydiphtalic anhydride (ODPA) with a mixture of 1,3-Bis-2-cyano-3-(3-aminophenoxy) phenoxybenzene (diamine 2CN) and 1,3-Bis (3-aminophenoxy) benzene (diamine 0CN). We present the piezoelectric, mechanical and ME performance of laminate composites of these copolyimides.
