Abstract
A series of aromatic diamines having ether and/or carbonyl moieties in their structures were synthesized. By using these synthesized diamines and commercially available tetracarboxylic dianhydrides, various kinds of polyimides having ether and/or carbonyl moieties were synthesized. The thermo-oxidative stability of the obtained polyimides was investigated by focusing on the chemical structures of their repeating structure units. The reason for the improved thermo-oxidative stability of the ether–carbonyl polyimide structure was explained by an electronically balanced condition, i.e., the balance of electron donor moiety (—O—) and electron acceptor moiety (—CO—) in a chemical structure, and the degree of electron deficiency of the benzene–imide ring structure. The possibility of the formation of a charge transfer complex (CT-complex) was also mentioned as an explanation of the improved thermo-oxidative stability of ether–carbonyl polyimide structures. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
