Abstract
Soluble polyimides with polyalicyclic structure were prepared by reactions of 2,3,5-tricarboxycyclopentyl acetic dianhydride (TCA-AH) with aromatic diamines. The two-step polymerization systems including poly(amic acids) synthesis and solution imidization using pyridine and acetic anhydride were performed and soluble polyimides with high inherent viscosities and high imidization ratios were obtained. TCA-AH polyimides exhibited high thermal stability in air and nitrogen, and good solubility in common polar solvents such as NMP (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone). In comparison with soluble aromatic polyimides based on fluorine containing monomers, TCA-AH polyimides showed slightly less thermal stability and lower solubility in a few solvents.
