Abstract
Highly reflective and surface conductive flexible polyimide films have been prepared by the incorporation of silver(I) acetate and 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,4-pentanedione into a dimethylacetamide solution of the poly(amic acid) formed from 3,3‘,4,4‘-benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride and 4,4‘-oxydianiline. Thermal curing of the silver(I)-containing poly(amic acid) leads to cycloimidization of the polyimide precursor with concomitant silver(I) reduction, yielding a reflective and conductive silver surface approaching that of the native metal. The metalized films retain the essential mechanical and thermal properties of the parent film. Films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission and scanning electron microscopy, tapping mode atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and conductivity, reflectivity, thermal, and mechanical measurements.
