Poly(imide siloxane), block and blend copolymer, were synthesized using different methods to explore the influence of siloxane chains. The flexible siloxane chains enrichment on surface of copolymer, enhance hydrophobic and adhesive with copper foil. It also improves light transmittance of polyimide film in the visible light region. The effect of different preparation methods on the aggregation in polymers and on polymer properties, especially adhesion and water absorptivity, are also discussed. The imidization temperature and synthesis method (blend and block) during the reaction has a significant effect on the properties of the product, especially thermal properties (T g values are 207 C for block and 180 C for blend) and mechanical properties (elongation of 130% for block and 50% for blend). The bonding strength of polymer films used as hot melt adhesive was also tested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
