Abstract

AbstractA family of random copoly(amic acid)s (coPAAs) containing the 2-(4- aminophenyl)-5-aminobenzoxazole (BOA) moiety were synthesized in DMAc, followed by dry-jet wet spinning process into as-spun PAA fibers. The modified polyimide (PI) fibers were obtained from PAA fibers after imidized and drawn in a furnace. The mechanical properties of fibers were improved by incorporating BOA into BPDA/PPD backbone. SEM photo showed that the cross-section of each stage fibers was round and voids free. Besides, the “skin-core” and microfibrillar structure were not observed. The thermal properties of PI fibers were also investigated. The results showed that the PI fibers owned excellent thermal stability, moreover, the dimensional stability and the microphase separation of fibers were improved by heat-drawn stage. The Tg were found to be around 290°C by TMA and DMA. The X-ray (WAXD and SAXS) experiments indicated that the longitudinal stacks, the molecular orientation and the structural homogeneity of PI fiber were improved in the preparation process of fibers.
