Effect of Curing Temperature on Degree Imidization of Melamine-BPADA Hyperbranched Polyimide Studied by FT-IR

摘要

We has synthesized hyperbranched polyamides (HPI) series containing s-triazine rings derived from melamine in the main chain, according to A3 + B2 approach which involving the emulsion polymerization reactions of melamine in hydrochloric acid and stepwise thermal imidization. The effect of curing temperature on the degree of imidization (DI) films of Melamine-BPADA (4, 4'-(4, 4'-Isopropylidenediphenoxy)bis(phthalic anhydride) has been examined by using the techniques of FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) and SEM-EDX (Scanning Electron Microscope-Electron Diffaction X-Ray). The DI varied significantly with annealing temperature before the films were fully cured. The Melamine-BPADA film was nearly fully cured when annealed at 180°C, while the same was revealed for SEM-EDX. The morphology of the Melamine-BPADA film did not vary with annealing at temperatures and the FTIR experiment fairly match those from the SEM-EDX.
