Research Abstract |
It has become theoretically apparent that the coloration in aromatic polyimides is attributable to a intramolecular charge transfer from the semi-empirical molecular orbital calculations for the model compounds. Several new tetracarboxylic dianhydrides bearing an alicyclic structure were synthesized by a Diels-Alder reaction and the Pd-catalyzed dimethoxycarbonylation reaction. Semi-aromatic or fully alicyclic polyimide films were prepared from the dianhydrides and aromatic or alicyclic diamines by two step polycondensation method. These films were colorless, and the transparencies in the visible region were over 85%. The films remained colorless up to 300℃ when heated in air, and 400℃ in N_2. The semi-aromatic polyimides had an average refractive index range of 1.599 to 1.617, and the birefringencies were lower than 0.017. The fully alicyclic polyimide films showed a cut-off wavelength shorter than 235 nm. The average refractive index of the PI(BHDA-BBH) polyimide film was 1.522, and the birefringence was nearly zero. The dielectric constant estimated from the refractive index was 2.55.
