  • Patent number: 6172127
    Abstract: The invention herein relates to a process of preparing a novel polyimide foam having superior heat-resistance, flame retardancy, homogeneous size and distribution of cells, and low density, wherein a polyimide precursor in a granular form is prepared by means of using heterocyclic amine as catalyst and then foaming. According to the present invention, the preparing process of a polyimide foam comprises reacting aromatic carboxylic acid or the anhydrides thereof with an excess of aliphatic univalent alcohol to yield an aromatic ester solution. To the aromatic ester solution, divalent amines or the mixture thereof were added in the equivalent amount of said carboxylic acid or the anhydrides thereof in addition to a catalyst and surfactant to yield a polyimide. Then, the precursor in a granular form mixture was imidized while foaming by means of pre-heating and then heating in a microwave oven, after which was cured at a high temperature.

  • Patent number: 5955568
    Abstract: The disclosure describes a process for preparing a polyamideimide resin having high molecular weight in a simple manner wherein major problems of the prior processes such as low heat resistance and low melt flowability are improved. The process comprises condensation of an aromatic tricarboxylic acid anhydride and an aromatic diamine in a polar solvent, subjecting the resulting diimidedicarboxylic acid to acyl halogenating agent treatment to give an intermediate having good reactivity at low temperature, and then subjecting the latter to direct polymerization by using diamine as a nucleophilic agent to give a polyamideimide resin having high molecular weight. The polyamideimide resin prepared by the present invention can be used as major heat resistant structural material in advanced industries and as paint, sheet, adhesives, sliding material, fiber and film having heat resistance.
