Preparation of R-BABP Polyimide Fibers via Wet Spinning of Polyamide Acid

Abstract:

A polyamide acid (PAA) based on diamine 4,4'-bis (4-aminophenoxy) diphenyl and 1,3-bis (3',4-dicarboxyphenoxy) benzene dianhydride was synthesized. PAA fibers were obtained by wet spinning. Then, these fibers were converted into polyimide by thermal imidization. Dependence of the structure and properties of fibers on the die drawing and the composition of the coagulation bath was studied. It is shown that the composition of the coagulation bath has a significant effect on the morphology and mechanical properties of polyimide (PI) fibers. To obtain defect-free fibers, a coagulation bath consisting of ethylene glycol/ethanol at 50/50 vol. % was found to be optimal. An increase in the die drawing of fibers from 1 to 2 times leads to an increase in tensile strength and strain at break of the polyimide fibers.
