Abstract

Abstract A polyamic acid copolymer forming a polyimide comprising, in mole percent, from greater than 5 percent to about 45 percent pyromellitic dianhydride, from about 5 percent to about 45 percent oxydiphthalic dianhydride, and about 50 percent of oxydianiline. Polyimides formed by curing the copolymer are also disclosed as is a process for forming a heat sealable coating on or dielectric isolation layer within electronic circuitry using the copolymer.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 87 words
A copolymeric polyamic acid which is capable of forming a polyimide consisting essentially of, in mole percent, from greater than 5 percent to about 45 percent pyromellitic dianhydride, from about 5 percent to about 45 percent oxydiphthalic dianhydride, and about 50 percent of oxydianiline which copolymeric polyamic acid per se exhibits stable solution viscosity, which copolymeric polyamic acid contains 10 to 90 percent recurring units of formula A as set forth below and 90 to 10 percent recurring unites of formula B as set forth below: ##STR2##
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 87 words
A copolymeric polyamic acid which is capable of forming a polyimide consisting essentially of, in mole percent, from greater than 5 percent to about 45 percent pyromellitic dianhydride, from about 5 percent to about 45 percent oxydiphthalic dianhydride, and about 50 percent of oxydianiline which copolymeric polyamic acid per se exhibits stable solution viscosity, which copolymeric polyamic acid contains 10 to 90 percent recurring units of formula A as set forth below and 90 to 10 percent recurring unites of formula B as set forth below: ##STR2##
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 36 words
A polyimide formed by curing the copolymer of claim 1, which polyimide has a high electrical polarization temperature, provides interface free polyimide/polyimide laminates having high adhesion and exhibits good mechanical properties with high elongation at break.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 33 words
The copolymeric polyamic acid of claim 1 consisting essentially of, in mole percent, from 25 to 45 percent pyromellitic dianhydride, from 10 to 25 percent oxydiphthalic dianhydride and about 50 percent of oxydianiline.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 36 words
A polyimide formed by curing the copolymer of claim 3, which polyimide has a high electrical polarization temperature, provides interface free polyimide/polyimde laminates having high adhesion and exhibits good mechanical properties with high elongation at break.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 12 words
The copolymeric polyamic acid of claim 1 consisting of the recited components.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 12 words
The copolymeric polyamic acid of claim 3 consisting of the recited components.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 36 words
A polyimide formed by curing the copolymer of claim 5, which polyimide has a high electrical polarization temperature, provides interface free polyimide/polyimide laminates having high adhesion and exhibits good mechanical properties with high elongation at break.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 36 words
A polyimide formed by curing the copolymer of claim 6, which polyimide has a high electrical polarization temperature, provides interface free polyimide/polyimide laminates having high adhesion and exhibits good mechanical properties with high elongation at break.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 82 words
The copolymeric polyamic acid of claim 1, formed by adding a uniform total molar ratio of mixed pyromellitic dianhydride-oxydiphthalic dianhydride to a solution containing the desired molar equivalent of oxydianiline in a solvent and thereafter maintaining the same at a temperature of about room temperature over a period of about 12 to about 24 hours, thereby obtaining said copolymeric polyamic acid which exhibits stable solution viscosity at a solids content of about 2˜3% to about 30 wt% solids based on solution weight.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 25 words
The copolymeric polyamic acid of claim 1, which exhibits a reproducibly adjustable Tg in the range of 375° C.-270° C. and which exhibits excellent adhesion.
