Abstract
Three different semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) polyimide systems were prepared through blending in solution by using 2 different polyimides, BPDA–PDA and PMDA–ODA (E), and 2 different oligomers, bismaleimide (MDAB) and phenylthynyl-terminated BPDA–PDA (BPDA–PDA–PEPA) oligomers. The oligomers are used as crosslinkers to modify the morphology of polyimides. The results show that both MDAB and PEPA are miscible with BPDA–PDA, but MDAB is immiscible with PMDA–ODA (E). Fourier transform infrared spectrum, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis data, and calculated crosslinking density indicate that there are crosslinking networks in these semi-IPN polyimide systems. In addition, the density and wide-angle X-ray diffraction results confirm that the molecular ordering and packing order are reduced by the addition of oligomers for these semi-IPN polyimide systems. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
