Yeo, Hyeonuk Goh, Munju Ku, Bon-Cheol You, Nam-Ho 2024-01-20T06:01:30Z 2024-01-20T06:01:30Z 2021-09-05 2015-10-12 0032-3861 https://pubs.kist.re.kr/handle/201004/124894 The authors report the synthesis and characterization of a polyimide (PI) series derived from 4,4'-((perfluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diyl)bis(oxy))bis(2,6-dimethylaniline) (8FBPODMA). The 8FBPODMA monomer containing a perfluorobiphenyl group with two 2,6-dimethylaniline units connected by an ether bond was synthesized and polycondensed with several aromatic dianhydrides, including 4,4'-biphthalic anhydride (BPDA), 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA), pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), and 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA), by the traditional two-step imidization procedure. All Pis shows high optical transparency, higher than 80% at 500 nm for a thickness of ca. 10 urn and good thermal properties. The thermal decomposition temperatures (T-10%) of the PIs are in the range of 507-527 degrees C and the glass transition temperatures (T-g) are in the range of 280-345 degrees C. In addition, the PIs have low refractive indices because of their high fluorine contents. In particular, 8FBPODMA-6FDA shows a very low refractive index (1.5389) and a low birefringence (0.0054) at 637 nm. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
