“…The characteristic peaks located at 1776, 1711, 1368, and 721 cm À1 correspond to the CQO asymmetric stretching, CQO symmetric stretching, C-N stretching, and imide ring deformation of PI, respectively. 42 The absorption peaks at 1782, 1720 (CQO asymmetric stretching, CQO symmetric stretching), 1667 cm À1 (CQO symmetric stretching of amide), 1370 cm À1 (C-N stretching), 1252 cm À1 and 1152 cm À1 (SQO asymmetric stretching, SQO symmetric stretching), respectively, demonstrate the successful synthesis of PAI. In addition, the characteristic absorption peaks of the PAI/PI alloy indicate its successful fabrication.…”
