Preparation and Characterization of Polyimide Foam Derived from 3,3’,4,4’-Biphenyltertacarboxylic Dianhydride and 4,4’- Diaminodiphenyl

Article Preview

Abstract:

The polyimide foam (PIF) was prepared by the foaming of precursor derived from dimethyl ester of 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA) and 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl methane (MDA). The structure and properties of polymers were investigated by FTIR, 1H NMR, TG, DSC, SEM and mechanical testing. The findings show the PIF developed is of glass transition temperature of about 309°C, weight loss 5wt% at 517°C, density of 0.0018 g/cm3, cell structure of about 150μm, open-cell of 20%, thermal conductivity of 0.0277W/cm·K suitable for thermal insulation foam.
