Abstract
Polyimide (PI) system which derived from monomer BAPP/BPDA were successfully synthesized and structure-properties-relationship (SPR), silicon segment whose role on PI system has been investigated. Two different methods were used to introduce segments of Si-O-Si which are into the backbone chain through conventional copolymerization and the matrix of PI via sol-gel methods, respectively to prepare the copolymer polydimethylsiloxane (PIS) and the composite polyimide silica hybrid (PSH). The synthesized PIs yield > 80%, with moderate inherent viscosity and molecular weight is with a narrow molecular weight distribution. The presence of silicone segments in the PI backbone has been successfully verified by FT-IR, HNMR and EA, the PI films were completely imidized. Typically the cured PI showed stability in acidic and alkaline medium and the combination Si-O-Si into chain backbone or particles into the matrix increases its solubility in common polar aprotic solvents. SEM showed an almost homogenous phase between PI and silicon segment for the PI system S-2 and S-3, while the PI system S-4 revealed the inorganic particles are distributed uniformly in the PI matrix. Introduction Si-O-Si segment into the PI backbone, consistently reducing the glass transition temperature, hardness, refractive index, dielectric constant and dielectric loss compared to the parent (S-1). While the introduction Si-O-Si particles into the PI matrix increased glass transition temperature, hardness, refractive index, dielectric constant and dielectric loss of PI system in comparison with its parent PI. TGA studies showed that the final degradation temperature (char residues 55 to 60% at 800 ° C) segment has been enhanced due to the presence of Si-O-Si, both in the backbone or matrix-matrix PI. PI System yellowish color display with a consistently, suitable to the transition π - π * transition due to the complex charge (CTC) aromatic wavelength 450 nm. Optical and electrical data shows the experimental results within the range accepted for optoelectronic device applications.
