  • Low viscosity melt processable high temperature polyimides
    Patent number: 6911519
    Abstract: A series of low melting and low viscosity phenylethynyl end-capped polyimides (PETIs) possessed of long term thermal and mechanical stability useful as films, melt coatings, adhesives, matrix and RTM resins and particular as coatings for optical fibers and phenylethynyl end-capped bismides blended with PETIs are disclosed. Processes for their production including: 1) modification of PETI-5 oligomer by molecular weight adjustments by blending with reactive low melting phenylethynyl end-capped imide monomers, 2) modification of the PETI-5 backbone structure with other diamine components, and 3) modification of the PETI-5 backbone with bulky fluorinated groups are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
