Abstract

AbstractThree amorphous piezoelectric polyimides have been synthesized and characterized to analyze their utility for high‐temperature applications. The studied polyimides have been prepared from 4,4′‐oxydiphthalic anhydride and the diamines 2,4‐di(3‐aminophenoxy)benzonitrile (poly2‐4), 2,6‐bis(3‐aminophenoxy)benzonitrile (poly2‐6), and 1,3‐bis‐2‐cyano‐3‐(3‐aminophenoxy)phenoxybenzene (poly2CN). These polyimides differ in the position of the dipolar groups CN in the aromatic ring (poly2‐4 and poly2‐6) and in the number of these groups in the repetitive unit (poly2‐6 and poly2CN). The imidization degree has been studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and thermogravimetry‐mass spectrometry (TG‐MS) and thermal properties by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG). The piezoelectric behavior has been analyzed from remnant polarization measurements. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 47: 722–730, 2009
