Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to improved lightweight, high temperature resistent, electrically conductive, palladium containing, polyimide films and methods of preparing same for use in aerodynamic and space application. A palladium (II) ion-containing polyamic acid solution is prepared by reacting an aromatic dianhydride with an equimolar quantity of a palladium II ion-containing salt or complex and the reactant product is cast as a thin film onto a surface and cured at approximately 300 DEG C. to produce a flexible electrically conductive cyclic palladium containing polyimide. The source of palladium ions is selected from the group of palladium II compounds consisting of LiPdCl4, Pd[S(CH3)2]2Cl2,Na2PdCl4, and PdCl2.
