Patent number: 7078477Abstract: In the process of the present invention, a solvent-soluble polyimide is produced by polycondensing at least one tetracarboxylic acid component with at least one diamine component in a solvent in the presence of a tertiary amine. The tetracarboxylic acid component is selected from the group consisting of tetracarboxylic dianhydrides represented by the following formula 1: wherein R is as defined in the specification, and tetracarboxylic acids and their derivatives represented by the following formula 2: wherein R and Y1 to Y4 are as defined in the specification. Unlike the conventional techniques using an excessively large amount of a chemical imidation agent such as acetic anhydride and a chemical imidation catalyst such as triethylamine, in the process of the present invention, the solvent-soluble polyimide having a high polymerization degree is easily produced in a solvent with good productivity by using only a catalytic amount of the tertiary amine.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2004Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Assignee: Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc.Inventors: Hiroki Oguro, Shuta Kihara, Tsuyoshi Bito

Patent number: 7053168Abstract: A method for preparing a polyimide includes introducing a mixture of an oligomer and a solvent to an extruder, removing solvent via at least one extruder vent, and melt kneading the oligomer to form a polyimide. The polyimide has a low residual solvent content. The method is faster than solution polymerization of polyimides, and it avoids the stoichiometric inaccuracies associated with reactive extrusion processes that use monomers as starting materials.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2003Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Norberto Silvi, Mark Howard Giammattei, Paul Edward Howson, Farid Fouad Khouri

Patent number: 7022810Abstract: A new class of hybrid organic-inorganic materials, and methods of synthesis, that can be used as a proton exchange membrane in a direct methanol fuel cell. In contrast with Nafion® PEM materials, which have random sulfonation, the new class of materials have ordered sulfonation achieved through self-assembly of alternating polyimide segments of different molecular weights comprising, for example, highly sulfonated hydrophilic PDA-DASA polyimide segment alternating with an unsulfonated hydrophobic 6FDA-DAS polyimide segment. An inorganic phase, e.g., 0.5–5 wt % TEOS, can be incorporated in the sulfonated polyimide copolymer to further improve its properties. The new materials exhibit reduced swelling when exposed to water, increased thermal stability, and decreased O2 and H2 gas permeability, while retaining proton conductivities similar to Nafion®. These improved properties may allow direct methanol fuel cells to operate at higher temperatures and with higher efficiencies due to reduced methanol crossover.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2003Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Sandia CorporationInventor: Christopher J.

Patent number: RE43880Abstract: This invention relates to the composition and a solvent-free process for preparing novel imide oligomers and polymers specifically formulated with effective amounts of a dianhydride such as 2,3,3?,4-biphenyltetra carboxylic dianydride (a-BPDA), at least one aromatic diamine and an endcapped of 4-phenylethynylphthalic anhydride (PEPA) or nadic anhydride to produce imide oligomers that possess a low-melt viscosity of 1-60 poise at 260-280° C. When the imide oligomer melt is cured at about 371° C. in a press or autoclave under 100-500 psi, the melt resulted in a thermoset polyimide having a glass transition temperature (Tg) equal to and above 310° C. A novel feature of this process is that the monomers; namely the dianhydrides, diamines and the endcaps, are melt processable to form imide oligomers at temperatures ranging between 232-280° C. (450-535° F.) without any solvent.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2006Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Administrator of National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventor: Chun-Hua Chuang
