Abstract

Evolving technology has posed a constantly increasing need for materials that can work well under harsh conditions such as elevated temperatures. Aromatic polyimides have a great potential for this purpose, having excellent thermal, mechanical, dielectric, and optical properties, along with good chemical resistance and high dimensional stability. In spite of their general difficulty in processing and high cost, polyimides are intensively studied for applications in many areas due to their high-end value. This article reviews the progress made on polyimide materials in the “Petru Poni” Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry (ICMPP) of the Romanian Academy during the last decade, with focus on their performance as films, matrices for nanocomposites, coatings for microelectronics and opto-electronic devices, or dielectrics for thin film capacitors.
