Polyimide films have conventionally been prepared by thermal imidization of poly(amic acid)s (PAAs). Here we report that the improvement of tensile strength while increasing (or maintaining) film flexibility of polyimide films was accomplished by simple microwave (MW) irradiation of the PAAs. This improvement in mechanical properties can be attributed to the increase in molecular weight of the polyimides by MW irradiation. Our results show that the mechanical properties of polyimide films can be improved by MW irradiation, which is a green approach that requires relatively low MW power, very short irradiation time, and no incorporation of any additional inorganic substance.

Silvered polyimide films have been prepared by alkali hydroxylation of polyimide film surface and incorporation of silver ions through subsequent ion exchange. Thermal curing had not only re-cycloimidized the poly(amic acid) into polyimide, but also reduced silver ions into silver atoms and near-atomic silver clusters, which diffused and aggregated to give reflective and conductive surfaces without addition of reducing agents. By this method, silvered polyimide films can be easily fabricated with double excellent reflective (reflectivity > 97%) and conductive surfaces (surface resistance: 0.02 /sq), outstanding metal-polymer adhesion, high mechanical properties, and controllable thickness of silver layers at modest cost. As the side-to-side near-surface microstructure difference in the laboratory made samples and commercial PI films, the thickness of alkali induced hydrolysis, loading of silver ions and forming of silver layers at the two sides of the polyimide films were also discussed here. Films were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM). Results show that continuous silver layers were formed on the polyimide films.

AbstractIn recent years, polyimide film has become a commonly used insulator for microelectronic devices including advanced semiconductor chip and high density packaging. It has the advantages of low dielectric constant, thermal stability and low processing cost. In general, it is important to understand both the thermal and mechanical properties of a microelectronic material. Thermal and mechanical properties play very important roles in terms of determining the device structural integrity. Mismatch of material properties could cause feasibility and reliability problems. These properties are also essential for mechanical stress and thermal stress modeling studies. Biphenyldianhydride-Phenylenediamine (BPDA-PDA) and Pyromellitic Dianhydride-Oxydianiline (PMDA-ODA) are two commonly used polyimide films in electronic industry. Their thermal expansion coefficients and mechanical properties were studied and reported here.

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.

Polyimide films treated with an alkali and ion exchange undergo surface-confined hydrolysis to produce polyimide composites. On the other hand, it is unclear what impact this method has on the mechanical properties of PI films. This paper reports the effects of the mechanical properties of PI films exposed to an alkali (KOH) solution with different treatment time. The mechanical properties of the re-cycloimidization PI films were improved when the proper initial KOH treatment time was used. The reason might be that PI could effectively reduce the formation of the shear zone to cracks due to the increase in ductility after the proper KOH treatment and more ductile PI chains led to re-orientation at the drawing process. Therefore, the strength and elongation of the re-cycloimidization PI films were better than those of the pristine PI films. This study focused on the effects of the KOH treatment on the mechanical properties of the PI film for the first time and proposed a mechanism to explain the reason that the appropriate time of KOH treatment can enhance the mechanical properties. The results presented here can provide guidelines for preparing composite PI films via ion-exchange by the proper KOH treatment time in future studies.

Firstly, 1,4-bis(3-nitro-5-trifluoromethylphenoxy)benzene(I) was synthesized through the nucleophilic substitution reaction of 3,5-dinitrobenzotrifluoride and 1,4-dihydroxybenzene in the presence of potassium carbonate. Then, the diamine monomer 1,4-bis(3-amino-5-trifluoromethylphenoxy)benzene (II) was obtained through the catalytic reduction with hydrazine and Pd/C. These fluorinated polyimides (PI) were synthesized from the fluorinated diamine II with four kinds of dianhydrides, including pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), 3,3’,4,4’-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (BPDA), 3,3’,4,4’-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA) and 3,3’,4,4’-benzophenonetetracarboxylicdianhydride (BTDA) respectively, via thermal imidization of poly(amic acid) (PAA). The structure and properties of these obtained fluorinated PIs were characterized. These experimental results showed that these fluorinated PI films exhibited excellent optical transmittance in the visible region and thermal resistance. The PI derived from ODPA showed the best optical transparency with the transmittance higher than 85.38 % at 450 nm. These PIs also exhibited good thermal properties with 5 wt% thermal decomposition temperature above 533 °C.

A free-standing photosensitive polyimide film with thickness of 10µm is fabricated with the different curing temperatures using a micro fabrication process. The microtensile specimens of a strip type are made to facilitate a tensile testing. The Young’s modulus and yield strength of photosensitive polyimide film are measured with various strain rates from 10-4 /s to 10-3 /s by using a microtensile test. Also, the hardness and Young’s modulus of polyimide films are obtained from nanoindentation test. Finally, the mechanical properties measured from microtensile test are compared with those from nanoindentation test.

An alicyclic tetracarboxylic dianhydride having cyclopentanone bis-spironorbornane structure (CpODA) was polycondensated with aromatic dianhydrides to form the corresponding poly(amic acid)s which possessed logarithmic viscosities in the range 1.47–0.54 dL/g. The poly(amic acid) was imidized by three methods: a chemical, a thermal, and a combined chemical and thermal process. In a thermal method, imidization temperature markedly influenced the film quality and molecular weight of the polyimide. When the poly(amic acid) was cured over the Tg of the corresponding polyimide, the flexible polyimide films were obtained and the molecular weights increased several times, which means that the post-polymerization took place. In spite of low-temperature cure below Tg flexible films with the imidization ratio of 100% were fabricated by a combined chemical and thermal imidization technique. The films possessed the decomposition temperatures in a range of 475–501 °C and Tgs over 330 °C. The high Tg results from a dipole–dipole interaction between the keto groups of the polymer chains as well as development of the rigid polyalicyclic unit. The polyimide films exhibited CTE between 17 and 57 ppm/K. All the films fabricated were entirely colorless and possessed the λcut-offs shorter than 337 nm. Notably, the films prepared by a chemical method exhibited outstanding optical properties.


In work the mechanical properties of polyimide films analogue kapton-H (manufactures of the People's Republic of China) by thickness 75 microns are studied in conditions of uniaxial stretching at temperature 293 K after influence of space factors - a separate and joint irradiation by protons and electrons with energy Е=160 keV and fluence (the total flow of particles with incident on the samples) F=1016 cm-2. The limit of the forced elasticity, the ultimate strength, the total strain before fracture and the contributions to the total deformation related to the elastic deformation occurring in the linear stage, the total forced elastic and irreversible deformation that contribute to the overall deformation of the samples at the nonlinear stage are determined. The total forced elastic deformation consists of a highly elastic deformation, reversible at the test temperature, and delayed elastic deformation. After exposure to irradiation, an increase in the limit of the forced elasticity of the films by 5-11%, a decrease in the ultimate strength by 10-14%, and a reduction in the total deformation by 20-28% were found. The maximum change in all mechanical characteristics occurs under the influence of proton irradiation. It is established that the decrease in the total deformation of irradiated films is mainly due to a 80% reduction in the contribution of irreversible deformation. The contribution of the total forced elastic deformation of the polyimide film practically does not change after irradiation, which has important scientific and applied significance.

Two diamine monomers 2-tert-butyl-1,4-bis(4-nitro-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)benzene and 1,4-bis(4-amino-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)benzene were reacted with the alicyclic dianhydride monomers 1,2,3,4-cyclobutanetetracarboxylic dianhydride to synthesize the poly(amic acid)s, and then obtain the corresponding polyimide films through thermal imidization. The structure and properties were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), thermogravimetic analysis (TGA), solubility test and so on. The effect of introduction of bulky tert-butyl and trifluoromethyl to the polyimide backbone on the properties of polyimide films was investigated. The experimental results showed that polyimides with tert-buty group exhibit excellent solubility, but their thermal and optical properties decreased slightly.
