Abstract
Abstract A method of insolubilizing solvent soluble polyimides comprising the imidized condensation products of an aromatic dianhydride and a primary aromatic diamine wherein at least one of said dianhydride or diamine is selected from the group consisting of 2,2-hexafluoro-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)propane dianhydride; 2,2-hexafluoro-bis(3-aminophenyl) propane; 2,2-hexafluoro-bis(4-aminophenyl)propane; 2,2-hexafluoro-bis-[4-(3-aminophenoxy)phenyl]propane; 2,2-hexafluoro-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]propane; 1,1-bis(4-aminophenyl)-1-phenyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethane; 1,1-bis-[4-(1,2-dicarboxyphenyl)]-1-phenyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethane dianhydride and mixtures thereof. The method comprises forming a shaped article or film comprising the polyimides and subjecting same to a heat annealing process at a temperature of at least 325° C. and for a period of time sufficient to insolubilize the polyimide. Preferred temperatures range from 350° C. to 400° C. for a period of time of at least 45 minutes to about 2 hours.
