    We propose a concentration analysis method for mixing solution by FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy). As the transparency of infrared light over living body or blood is high, an absorbance spectrum of glucose and lactic acid was measured as basic data using FTIR. Consequently, it was confirmed that the absorbance peaks of glucose, lactic acid and the mixing solution exist in infrared region, and the peak values are dependent on the concentration. Also, we proposed the method of concentration analysis of mixing solution using basic data, and it was shown the possibility for analyzing each concentration by this method.

    상온에서 polyimide 위에 증착한 Cu의 초기성장 과정과 Cu/polyimide의 계면의 형태에 관하여 XPS를 이용하여 관찰하였다. Polyimide 위에 Cu가 증착됨에 따라, 초기단계에는 강한 결합의 Cu-N-O complex가 주가 되어 Cu/polyimide 계면을 형성하고, Cu의 증착두께가 증가함에 따라, 약한 결합의 Cu 산화물에서 서서히 metallic Cu로서 성장하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이상의 결과들을 통해, Cu/polyimide의 계면은 Cu-N-O complex와 Cu 산화물이 혼합되어 있는 형태이며 polyimide 표면에 가까울수록 Cu-N-O complex가 주가 되고, Cu 쪽에 가까울수록 Cu 산화물이 주가 되는 형태를 이루고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

    Abstract The adhesion of polyimide to polyimide was studied by measuring the peel strength of various polyimide–polyimide composites. Different factors such as diffusion of polyamic acid to polyimide substrate, contact angle, wettability, and the thermal expansion coefficient of polyimide films and the presence of siloxane can affect this adhesion and are discussed in this article. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    A number of polyimide films incorporated with different amounts of octa(aminopropylsilsesquioxane) (POSS-NH2) were prepared from 1,2,4,5-Benzenetetracarboxylic anhydride, 4,4′-Oxydianiline and POSS-NH2. The structure and properties of the hybrid polyimide films were characterized and evaluated. It is found that, compared with pure polyimide without POSS-NH2, the thermal stabilities and electrical capabilities of hybrid polyimide films are improved. Meanwhile, the incorporation of POSS-NH2 also brings improvement in the flexibility of polyimide films.

    Abstract Electrical conduction characteristics in two different polyimide films prepared by the imidization of polyamic acid (PAA) and pre-imidized polyimide (PI) solution were investigated. It is found that the current density of the polyimide film from PAA was higher than that of the polyimide film from PI at the same electric field, even though the conduction mechanism in both polyimide films follows the ionic hopping model. The hopping distance was calculated to be 2.8 nm for PAA type and 3.2 nm for PI type polyimide film. It is also found that the decay rate of the residual electrostatic charges on the polyimide films becomes faster in the PAA type than in the PI type polyimide film.
    Abstract High‐performance polyimide fibre is well known for its outstanding thermal stability, fire resistance and chemical stability, and it has great potential for use in fire‐protective textiles. One major drawback of polyimide fibre is that it is difficult to dye under regular conditions. In this work, it was found that polyimide fibre could be dyed with disperse dyes with the assistance of N ‐methylformanilide. Thus, it was proposed that there might exist an interaction between polyimide fibre and N ‐methylformanilide that plays an important role in dyeing. Experimental results showed that N ‐methylformanilide penetrated into polyimide fibre, resulting in a slight swell in diameter and decrease in the breaking strength of polyimide fibre. X‐ray diffractometric data showed no apparent solvent‐introduced increase on the crystallinity of polyimide fibres but an orderly change on the interplanar spacing. When N ‐methylformanilide was removed from polyimide fibre by thermal treatment, the diameter, breaking strength and interplanar spacing of the polyimide fibres were all recovered to some extent. This indicated that the interactions between polyimide macromolecular chains were broken because of the penetration of N ‐methylformanilide, and new interactions occurred between polyimide macromolecular chains and N ‐methylformanilide that played a role in lubricating dye molecules to diffuse into polyimide fibres.

    Abstract Polyimide/polyimide molecular composite (MC) films comprised of a rigid polyimide derived from biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA) and p ‐phenylenediamine (PDA) and a flexible polyimide derived from BPDA and bis (3,3'‐diaminodiphenyl) acetylene (intA) and/or oxydianiline (ODA) were prepared by blending the polyamic acid solutions in 7 : 3 weight ratio, and then imidizing the blend films. Acetylene content in the flexible polyimide backbone was controlled by the ratio of intA and ODA. Cold‐drawing of the blend polyamic acid films, followed by imidization, gives high modulus polyimide/polyimide MC films. The modulus of the MC films increased almost linearly with the draw ratio, reaching 25.5 GPa for the 40% drawn film. Acetylene groups in the flexible polyimide can be thermally cured to crosslink. The onset of exotherm appeared at 340°C on DSC, reaching maximum at 398°C. After the thermal crosslinking, the MC films maintained the high modulus, though elongation became small. Taking advantage of the crosslinkable acetylene units, two MC films were laminated and processed at 400°C for 20 min under 100 kg/cm 2 to give a good‐quality laminate film. The interface of the two films was strongly bonded through the crosslinking of acetylene groups. Laminate films maintained the high modulus afforded by the cold‐drawing. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    In this study, highly cross-linked and completely imidized polyimide aerogels were prepared from polyimide containing trimethoxysilane side groups, which was obtained as the condensation product of polyimide containing acid chloride side groups and 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane. After adding water and acid catalyst, the trimethoxysilane side groups hydrolyzed and condensed one another, and a continuous increase in the complex viscosities of the polyimide solutions with time was observed. The formed polyimide gels were dried by freeze-drying from tert-butyl alcohol to obtain polyimide aerogels, which consisted of a three-dimensional network of polyimide fibers tangled together. By varying the solution concentration of the polyimide containing trimethoxysilane side groups, polyimide aerogels with different densities (ranging from 0.19 to 0.42 g/cm3) were obtained. The resulting polyimide aerogels had small pore diameter (ranging from 20.7 to 58.3 nm), high surface area (ranging from 310 to 344 m2/g), high 5% weight loss temperature in air (at about 440 °C), and an excellent mechanical property. In addition, the glass transition temperature (349 °C) of the polyimide aerogels was much higher than that (210 °C) of the corresponding linear polyimide. So, even after being heated at 300 °C for 30 min, the porous structure of the polyimide aerogels was not completely destroyed.

    To improve AO resistance of polyimide, a type of polyimide/silica (PI/SiO2) hybrid film was prepared by the sol-gel process. The coupling agent p-aminophenyltrimeth- oxysilane (APTMOS) was chosen to enhance the compatibility between the polyimide (PI) and silica (SiO2). AO resistance of the PI/SiO2 hybrid films were tested in the ground-based simulation AO facility. The erosion yield of the films was 4.7×10-26 cm3/atom, decreased by two orders of magnitude compared with the value of 3.0×10-24 cm3/atom of the polyimide film. Results from FTIR, XPS, AFM on AO treated polyimide/silica hybrid films indicate the formation of a passivating inorganic SiO2 layer. The layer significantly retards the penetration of oxygen atoms, preventing further degradation of the polymer in the bulk. The addition of SiO2 in polyimide does not significantly alter the optical properties of polyimide during AO exposure.
