Abstract

Poly(amic ‍acid) ‍nanoparticles ‍prepared ‍by ‍‍precipitation ‍polymerization with a dispersant were evaluated by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The particle size evaluation of poly(amic acid) nanoparticles in the liquid phase by SAXS was performed to gain insight into the size control of poly(amic acid) nanoparticles, and showed good agreement with visual observation by FE-SEM, explaining the effect of the dispersant in obtaining polyimide nanoparticles with small particle size. This indicates that the particle size is maintained without change during the solvent evaporation process. The polyamide nanoparticles controlled by the dispersant effect maintained their size after imidization, and polyimide nanoparticles with a minimum radius of about 60 nm were prepared.
