Two new polyimides (ODA‐PI and HDA‐PI) having 1,4‐phenylenediethynylene unit and octyloxy groups were synthesized. Judging from inherent viscosities of their precursor PAAs (1.42 and 1.62 dL · g?1), the two PIs were very high in molecular weight. Casting and thermal imidization of PAAs results polyimides with good‐quality films. They were stable up to 364 °C and showed no crystallites. UV‐vis and PL spectra in NMP solutions of both PIs showed maxima at 442 and 501 nm, respectively, while PL spectra in ≈10 µm thick films exhibited a maximum at 540 nm. CV indicates that two PIs were electrochemically active in redox region. The devices with construction of ITO/PEDOT/PIs/BAlq3/LiF/Al exhibited turn‐on voltages of 6.5 V in ODA‐PI and 7.5 V in HDA‐PI and emitted a bright bluish‐green light. ODA‐PI and HDA‐PI showed maximum luminescence of 256 and 316 cd · cm?2, respectively, at the same voltage of 12 V.
Spherical microcapsules (∼1 mm in diameter and ∼1 μm in wall thickness) to be used as inertial confinement fusion targets were prepared from 6FDA-ODA polyimide by vapor deposition polymerization. Compared with the previously developed PMDA-ODA polyimide microcapsules, the 6FDA-ODA microcapsules were ∼50-fold more permeable to gases including He, D2, O2, N2, Ar, and Ne, considerably more transparent in the UV-visible spectrum, and of marginally lower Young's modulus, tensile strength, and elongation at break. The microcapsules possessed amorphous morphology with an amorphous d-spacing of 5.8 Å as determined by wide-angle X-ray diffraction. The cryogenic permeability of helium was measured between 133 and 295 K, and the activation energy for permeation was determined to be 12.3 kJ/mol. 相似文献
Polyimides having dendritic side chains were investigated. The terphenylene diamine monomer having a first-generation monodendron, 3,4,5-tris(n-dodecyloxy)-benzoate and the monomer having a second-generation monodendron, 3,4,5-tris[-3’,4’,5’-tri(n-dodecyloxy)benzyloxy]benzoate were successfully synthesized and the corresponding soluble dendritic polyimides were obtained by polycondensation with conventional tetracarboxylic dianhydride monomers such as benzophenone tertracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA). The two-step polymerizations in NMP that is a general method for the synthesis of soluble polyimides is difficult; however, the expected dendritic polyimides can be obtained in aromatic polar solvents such as m-cresol and pyridine. The solubility of these dendoronized polyimides is characteristic; soluble in common organic solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform, toluene and THF. These dendronized polyimides exhibited high glass transition temperatures and good thermal stability in both air and under nitrogen. Their application as alignment layers for LCDs was investigated, and it was found that these polyimides having dendritic side chains were applicable for the vertically aligned nematic liquid crystal displays (VAN-LCDs). 相似文献
Environmental stress crazing/cracking (ESCR/C) of adhesives under organic solvent exposure is a subject of great practical importance to adhesive end-users, especially in dealing with structural applications. In the past, the mechanical properties of several adhesive systems have been shown to degrade considerably after both prolonged and momentary exposure to solvents under a state of stress. In this study, the solvent resistance of three structural polyimide adhesives was studied, with respect to organic solvents that may come in contact with the adhesives during their service life. Initially, dog-bone samples of the resin systems were prepared, according to ASTM Standard D638-91a, and these were soaked in the solvents to obtain equilibrium solvent mass uptake curves. The solvents used in the study included acetone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and ethylene glycol, among others. The equilibrated samples were then tested in a miniature tensile testing machine, to obtain stress-strain characteristics. Secondly, samples equilibrated in the solvents were held in a vacuum environment at 150°C (which is below the glass transition temperature of the adhesives) to desorb the solvent, and these were then tested to obtain residual properties. To study the durability of bonded joints under solvent exposure, Ti-6A1-4V/adhesive bonds were prepared and wedge tests were performed on them for periods up to several days in solvent baths. Based on the measured crack lengths, the strain energy release rate due to solvent-induced environmental stress cracking (GESC) was computed as a function of crack growth rate. The GESC measurements help quantify the durability of the bonded joints on exposure to the various solvents, and further help in ranking the adhesives in terms of solvent resistance. 相似文献
