Abstract
A series of Eu 2O 3/polyimide hybrids has been successfully prepared via a solution process. X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy were used to characterize the hybrids. Mechanical tests showed that introduction of the rare earth can obviously increase the tensile strength of the polymer. Thermal analysis indicated that the addition of rare earth can increase the glass transition temperature and thermal stability of polyimide. The introduction of rare earth also increased the dimensional stability and refractive index.
