Abstract
Abstract A process is provided for making polyimides having chemically combined polydiorganosiloxane blocks. An excess organic dianhydride is contacted with an organic diamine in a refluxing halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon solvent in the presence of an acid catalyst to produce an intermediate polyimide product. The temperature of the mixture is thereafter lowered, and amino-terminated polydiorganosiloxane is added to the mixture to effect the incorporation of polydiorganosiloxane blocks into the polyimide. There is produced clear polyimide-polydiorganosiloxane block polymer useful as an insulating layer on semi-conductor devices.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A method for making polyimide-polydiorganosiloxane block copolymer which comprises: 1. effecting azeotropic water removal from a refluxing mixture of an organic dianhydride and organic diamine in the presence of an organic solvent and an effective amount of an organic acid catalyst where the ratio of the organic dianhydride to the organic diamine utilized in the mixture has a value greater than 1, 2. allowing the reaction mixture of 1 to cool to a temperature of at least 20° C and adding to the resulting mixture an amount of amino alkyl terminated polydiorganosiloxane which is substantially the stoichiometric equivalent to the excess of organic dianhydride utilized in the mixture of 1, and agitating the resulting mixture for a time sufficient to effect polyimide-polydiorganosiloxane block copolymer formation, 3. recovering the polyimide-polydiorganosiloxane block copolymer from (2).
Claim 2
Independent Claim
133 words
