Abstract
A novel fluorinated diamine monomer, 9,9-bis[4-(4-amino-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenyl]fluorene (II) was prepared via the nucleophilic substitution reaction of 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzotrifluoride with 9,9-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)fluorene in the presence of potassium carbonate, followed by catalytic reduction with hydrazine and Pd/C. Polyimides V were synthesized from diamine II and various aromatic dianhydrides III a-f via thermal imidization. These polymers had inherent viscosities ranging from 0.84 to 1.03 dL/g and were soluble in a variety of organic solvents such as NMP, DMAc, DMF, and DMSO, and some could even be dissolved in less polar solvents such as m-cresol, pyridine, and dioxane. Polyimide films V a-f had tensile strengths of 85–105 MPa, elongations to break of 7–9%, and initial moduli of 2.13–2.42 GPa. The glass transition temperature of these polymers were in the range of 277–331 °C, their 10% weight loss temperatures were in the range of 539–594 °C in nitrogen and above 544 °C in air, and their char yields at 800 °C in nitrogen ranged between 55–65 wt%. Compared with nonfluorinated polyimides VI, V showed better solubility and lower color intensity. Low dielectric constants (2.68–2.85 at 1 MHz) and low moisture absorptions (0.12–0.24 wt%) were also observed. In particular, V c-f afforded lightly-colored films, which had cutoff wavelengths lower than 385 nm and b* values ranging from 6 to 22.
