Patent number: 4269968Abstract: Polyamic acid having greatly increased adhesive ability is prepared by compacting a solid aromatic dianhydride to reduct its surface area to weight ratio and reacting the compacted dianhydride with a solution of an organic diamine in an inert non-aqueous solvent.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1979Date of Patent: May 26, 1981Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John Duran, Leo Missel, Thomas O. Montelbano

Patent number: 4232142Abstract: Aromatic polymers containing benzenoid groups and oxygen atoms in the polymer chains are made by the action of an alkali metal hydroxide on a dihalogenobenzenoid compound in which each halogen atom is activated by an inert electron-attracting group such as --SO.sub.2 --.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1975Date of Patent: November 4, 1980Assignee: Imperial Chemical Industries LimitedInventors: Dennis A. Barr, John B. Rose

Patent number: 4225702Abstract: A method of preparing a polyamide acid type intermediate is provided, by using a purified inert solvent and monomer compounds, or diamine and/or diaminoamide compounds and a tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride, whose ionic impurities and free acid contents were reduced by recrystallization purification. The polyamide acid type intermediate may improve electrical properties and heat resistance of semiconductors when it is applied to, for instance, a surface-protecting film of semiconductors or an interlayer-insulating film of semiconductors having a multiple layer wiring structure.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 1979Date of Patent: September 30, 1980Assignee: Hitachi Chemical Company, Ltd.Inventors: Daisuke Makino, Yasuo Miyadera, Seiki Harada, Atsushi Saiki

Patent number: 4197397Abstract: Aromatic polyimides with anhydride end groups are chain-extended (molecular weight increased) by reacting them with aromatic diamines or diamine terminated imide oligomers. The reaction can either be at a temperature above the melting point of the reactants or in solvents for the reactants. These polyimides can be shaped and formed prior to chain-extending.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 1978Date of Patent: April 8, 1980Assignee: University of Notre Dame du LacInventor: Gaetano F. D'Alelio

Patent number: 4159262Abstract: Triazine compounds and cross-linked polymer compositions are made by heating aromatic nitriles to a temperature in the range of from about 100.degree. C. to about 700.degree. C., and preferably in the range of from about 200.degree. C. to about 350.degree. C. in the presence of a catalyst or mixture of catalysts selected from one or more of the following groups: (A) organic sulfonic and sulfinic acids, (B) organic phosphonic and phosphinic acids, and (C) metallic acetylacetonates, at a pressure in the range of from about atmospheric pressure to about 10,000 p.s.i., and preferably in the range of from about 200 p.s.i. to about 750 p.s.i.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 1977Date of Patent: June 26, 1979Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Administrator, National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventor: Li-Chen Hsu
