Study of the crosslinking process in fluorinated poly(imide-amide)s containing pendant cyano groups

Abstract

Fluorinated poly(imide-amide)s containing pendant cyano groups have been synthesized by solution polycondensation of aromatic diamines which contain cyano groups with diacid chlorides which have both hexafluoroisopropylidene and imnide groups. Thermal crosslinking of these polymers has been attempted in NMP, or by heating the polymer films up to 370-400 'C. The solubility, thermal stability, glass transition temperature and dielectric constant of both linear and crosslinked polymers have been studied.
