Photodegradation of Polyimide 1. A Spectral, Viscometric, Chromatographic and Weight Loss Investigation of Polyimides Based on a Perfluorinated Dianhydride

The photodegradation of aromatic dianhydride based polyimide films with perfluorinated chromophores in the dianhydride moiety is characterized by significant weight loss and chain cleavage. A conventional polyimide film based on pyromellitic dianhydride yields little decomposition under similar cond...

Zusammenfassung:The photodegradation of aromatic dianhydride based polyimide films with perfluorinated chromophores in the dianhydride moiety is characterized by significant weight loss and chain cleavage. A conventional polyimide film based on pyromellitic dianhydride yields little decomposition under similar conditions of photolysis. Emission changes on photolysis of polyimide solutions demonstrates and efficient rearrangement to a yield a highly fluorescent species which can be used as an effective tool for following the degradation process.
