New Polyimide Has Many Uses
Abstract
Low-toxicity and low-mutogenicity monomer key to new high-performance polyimide. LaRC-IA is thermoplastic polyimide made from 3-4'-oxydianiline and 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride. Good processing characteristics, low toxicity, and no mutagenicity. Adhesives, composite matrix resins, heat resin moldings, and coating films made of new polymer found to exhibit properties identical or superior to commercially available polyimides. Potential applications wide ranging. With and without end capping, employed to prepare unfilled moldings, coatings and free films, adhesive tape, adhesively bonded substrates, prepregs, and composites.
