Abstract. Colorless alicyclic polyimides (ALPIs) were synthesized from an alicyclic dianhydride,

bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BCDA) and an aromatic diamine,

3,4'-oxydianiline (3,4'-ODA). For comparison, a series of crosslinkable ALPI membranes with

different content of crosslinkable reagents were prepared. The crosslinkable PI reacts with the

crosslinkers and forms covalent bond to create the crosslink structure between PI backbones by free

radical reaction. Almost of the crosslinkable PIs exhibit excellent dimensional stability and higher

transparency because of the crosslink structure and non-conjugate alicyclic chain. All of the

crosslink ALPIs could be coated into flexible and tough films. They had a UV-Vis cut-off at 297 nm

and a transmittance of higher than 80% in near ultraviolet region. These PIs show low coefficient of

thermal expansion ranging from 57.36 to 47.53 ppm/oC, the glass transition temperature in the

range of 336.2-333.0 oC, the decomposition temperature in the range of 433.7-440.0

oC. The

crosslinkable ALPIs show excellent optical properties with the excited wavelength ranging from

340 to 328 nm and stronger emission intensity than linear PI, the haze lower than 0.7, the refractive

index about 1.6 and the abbe numbers over 165.

Introduction

Aromatic polyimides (PIs) are a kind of high performance polymer with excellent thermal

stability, chemical resistance and electric property that are widely used for aerospace, transportation

and electronic industry in the form of films and moldings [1,2,3]. However, wholly aromatic PIs are

difficult to fabricate because of their insolubility in common solvents and high glass transition

temperature [4,5]. Besides, the mostly well-known PI (Kapton) synthesized from pyromellitic acid

dinanhydride (PMDA) and 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA), has strong colorlation from

yellowish-brown to blackish-brown. The characteristic absorption tailings in the visible region was

due to the intra- or inter-molecular charge transfer (CT) between highly conjugated aromatic

structure of the PI backbones [6-11]. Those problems greatly limit the usage of PI in the area where

colorlessness or transparency is the basic requirement.

Page 2: High Transparency and Thermal Stability of Alicyclic Polyimide with Crosslinking Structure by Triallylamine

Many approaches have been made through the replacement of aromatic structure with aliphatic

structure [12] or the incorporation of flexible linkages [13,14], bulky pendant groups [15-17],

noncoplanar biphenylene moieties [3,18-20] and trifluoromethyl (-C(CF3)3) [21,22] into the

polymer backbone. The main purpose of these methods is to increase the steric hindrance, decrease

the crystallinity and reduce the intra- and/or inter-molecular interactions [4]. The alicyclic

polyimide (ALPIs) with unconjugated polycyclic structure [12] in main chain are transparent and

colorless to remedy the problems of wholly aromatic polyimides without excessively sacrificing

their thermal properties [4,30].

Matsumoto and Feger [12] synthesized ALPIs from an alicyclic dianhydride, bicycle

[2.2.2]oct-7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BCDA) and an aromatic. The polyalicyclic

PIs are colorless and transparent when heated up to 300 o

C in air or 400oC in N2 [12]. However,

large dimensional change was observed from most colorless PI due to the decrease in crystallinity

and molecular interaction. Jin et al. [22] synthesized maleic anhydride-terminated polyimides (PMI)

and copolyimides by free radical reaction. This crosslinked PI system exhibit very high thermal

stability and excellent manufacturing performance. Choi and Chang et al. [23] synthesized PI from

bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BCDA) and bis[4-(3-aminophenoxy)

phenyl] sulfone (BAPS) followed by heat-treated from 250oC to 350

oC to enhance the degree of

crosslink from 85% to 93% [23]. In this work, ALPI was prepared via one step method of alicyclic

dianhydride and aromatic diamine. Adequate amount of crosslink reagent was mixed with the

semi-aromatic PIs to create the crosslink structure between PI backbones by free radical reaction in

order to reduce the dimensional change. There is no literature that make use of triallylamine to link

together with polymer chains. Besides, the crosslinked PIs maintained thermal stability and

exhibited improved optical transparency and mechancial strength .

Experimental

Materials

Bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BCDA) and 3,4'-oxydianiline

(3,4’-ODA) were purchased from Aldrich. γ-butyrolactone (GBL) and dimethylacetamide (DMAc)

were provided by TEDIA. The catalyst, isoquinoline, and crosslinkable reagent, triallylamine, were

purchased from TCI and Alfa Aesar, respectively.

Sample preparation

Alicyclic polyimides (ALPIs) with 20w% of solid content was synthesized form

bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BCDA), 3,4'-oxydianiline (3,4'-ODA)

by one step method and the synthesize process was shown in Fig. 1. In a 100-ml three-necked

round-bottomed flask, 0.8930 g ODA and 1.1070 g BCDA and were dissolved and mixed complete

in 8 g co-solvent (GBL and DMAc) by mechanical stirrer and purging with N2 to insulate the air

and water at the room temperature. After stirring for 2 h, the catalyst (isoquinoline) was mixed with

the above solution at 170~180oC for 12~15 h to form ALPI solution by thermal cyclization reaction.

Page 3: High Transparency and Thermal Stability of Alicyclic Polyimide with Crosslinking Structure by Triallylamine

The procedure of preparing of the crosslinkable ALPIs was similar to linear ALPIs. 0.8930 g

ODA, 1.1070 g BCDA and some amounts of AIBN and various content of triallylamine were

dissolved and homogeneously mixed with 8 g co-solvent at room temperature. After reacted for 2 h,

stoichiometry of isoquinoline was mixed at 170~180 oC for 12~15 h to form crosslinkable ALPI

solutions. The linear and crosslinkable ALPI solutions were coated on glass plate and thermal cured

at 80 o

C, 170 o

C and 230 o

C each for 1.5 h in the oven. The concentrations of triallylamine in the

resultant ALPIs films were 0, 20%, 63% mol%, respectively and the thickness of ALPI films were

ranging from 22-30 µm.

Measurement

The attenuated total reflection–Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR, Nicolet-380) spectra

were obtained with 64 scans per spectrum at a 2 cm-1

resolution. The ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis)

spectra were obtained using a Shimadze UV-1800 spectrophotometer optimized with a spectral

width of 200-800 nm. The fluorescent-emssion spectra of ALPIs films were charaterized using a

Shimadze RF-5301 spectrofluorophotometer with a resolution of 1 nm and scanning in the range of

300-700 nm. The refractive index was measured by using an Atago Abbe refractometer and haze

property was characterized from Nippon Denshoku NDH 200. Dielectric measurements were

carried out by means of dielectric analyzer (Agilnet-4294A). The thermal and mechanical properties

were measured by using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA-Q500), a dynamic-mechanical

analyzer (DMA-2980) and a thermo mechanical analyzer (TMA-Q400) from TA instruments. The

values of DTA and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) were measured at a heating rate of

10oC/min under nitrogen flow. The mechanical property was measured at a heating rate of 3

oC/min

and preloading force with 0.1 N by DMA.

Results and discussion

FT-IR spectra of crosslinkable ALPI films

During the membrane preparation, the polymization of allyl group of triallylamine and the

double bond of BCDA was expected with the presence of the initiator AIBN and formed

crosslinking structure between PI backbones. Fig. 2 show the ATR-FTIR spectra of linear and

crosslinkable ALPI films with different content of triallylamine. The sample code, PIN0, PIN20,

andPIN63 indicated the the content of triallylamine was 0, 20, and 63 mol%. The FTIR spectra of

all ALPI membranes showed the absorption bands at 1775 cm-1

and 1699 cm-1

due to the

asymmetric and symmetric C=O stretching vibrations of the imide groups. The C-N function group

absorption at 1371 cm-1

was assigned to stretching vibration of the imide structure. The chemical

structure of ALPIs was unchanged after free radical polymerization. The major difference between

the linear ALPI and crosslinkable ALPIs was the area ratio of characteristic peaks C=C to C=O

shown in Table 1. The literature [23] indicated when the crosslink degree of PI is increased, the

intensity of C=C (705 cm-1

) of dianhydride beccomes weak. The area ratio (C=C to C=O) of PIN0

and PIN20 were 0.158 and 0.127 indicating the concentration of C=C decreased significantly after

free radical polymerization. However, the intensity of C=C became stronger when more

triallylamine was mixed into PI. It is believed that the self-linkage of triallylamine may form and

hinder the connection between triallyamine and PI. Large amounts of C=C remained when the

triallylamine was not able to crosslink the PI network that the C=C to C=O area ratio of PIN63 was

similar to PIN0.

Optical properties

Wholly aromatic PIs strongly absorb visible lights because of their high conjugated structure

and the intermolecular or intramolecular CTCs formed between or within polymer backbones. It

usually presents pale yellow to deep brown. Fig. 3(a) and 3(b) shows UV-vis spectra of PIN0,

PIN20, and PIN63 derived from alicyclic BCDA, aromatic 3,4'-ODA and (amount) crosslinkable

reagent of triallylamine. Most of these samples with a thickness of 22-29 µm show high optical

transparency (>74%, at 400 nm) and colorless when the concentration of crosslinkable reagent was

below 63 mol%. It remained excellent transparency in near ultraviolet region, especially for PIN63

(> 80%). It is believed that the alicyclic PI structure without the conjugate bonds and the separation

of chromophores between inter-molecular by crosslinking of triallylamine avoid the π-π∗ transition

and weaken the CTCs effect [24]. From Table 2, the cut-off wavelength of ALPI (PIN0) was 322

nm and then bule shifted to below 300 nm for PIN20 and PIN63. The reasons of blue shift are due

to the decrease in the amounts of double bonds of alicyclic dianhydride and the reduction in CTCs

effect. These results indicated the initiator AIBN could make ALPIs more transparent by free

radical reacting with double bonds of dianhydride. Notably, the energy gap of films increased from

3.4 to 3.7 eV as shown in Table 2. It also demonstrate the bule-shifted phenomenon of cut-off

wavelength.

Fig. 4 showed the emission spectra of PIN0 to PIN63 films with excitation wavelength at 329

nm. The emission intensity of PIN20 and PIN63 were all higher than PIN0 because the stack

phenomenon was broken by crosslinked structures. The separation of fluorophores to weaken intra-

and/or inter-molecular interactions can be achieved by swelling the polymer backbones [25]. In

Table 2 shows the excitation wavelength, the emission wavelength and the Stoke shift of films PIN0

to PIN63. The excitation peak of PIN0 appeared at 340 nm showed bule-shifted compared to that of

PIN20 and PIN63 (333, and 328 nm). The Stokes shift of PIN20 was 0.37, which was lower than

that of PIN0 was 0.40. The main chain became rigid due to the limited crosslinking structure. When

mixing with more triallylamine, such as PIN63, the linking chain may become longer and more

flexible that larger Stokes shifts than PIN0 were observed. It is believed that the distance between

polymer chains of PIN63 was longer than PIN0 [26].

Refractive index, haze and dielectric properties

Fig. 5 shows the refractive indices of the films measured by Abbe refractometer. All of the

refractive indices of ALPIs were around 1.60 and the values became less and less gradually after

crosslinking. The swelled backbone structure by crosslinking decreased the density of PI and

lowered the refractive index [21,22]. Abbe numbers (νD) has been frequently used as a measure of

the degree of dispersion of refractive index. In general, larger values of ν are expected because

smaller dispersion of refractive index is preferable for conventional optical applications such as lens

and waveplates. The Abbe number of ALPIs measured at the wavelengths of 486, 589 and 656 nm

representing the three primary colors (blue, green, and red) shown in Fig. 5 were listed in Table 3.

The most transparent PIN20 film exhibited the highest Abbe number (νD =165.1) as expected. Haze

is also an important factor for optical materials and commonly used to estimate the phenomenon of

scattering within a matrix. Samples with larger value of haze will lose waves and reduce the

transparency. The haze value of PIN20 was the lowest and the one of other films containing more

triallylamine was increased. The self-assembly of triallylamine by free radical reaction may form

large particles and increase the haze values [27]. The dielectric property (Dk) of PIN0-PIN63 could

observed at Table 3. The values of dielectric constant decreased when ALPIs contained crosslinkers

to limit the moiety of backbones. Here, the decrease in mobility was due to both the increase of the

viscosity and the hindrances of crosslinking structure [28].

Thermal and mechanical properties

The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of ALPI films was done at a heating rate of 10K per

minute in nitrogen atmosphere. Differential TG curve of the representative ALPI films were

displayed in Fig. 6 and Table 4. A series of ALPIs showed good thermal stability with few weight

loss up to 430 oC. A slight weight loss in the temperature range of 200-350

oC was observed for

crosslinkable ALPIs. The crosslinked triallylamine may be decomposed in this temperature

range[27], however, the ALPIs matrix remain excellent thermal stability. Fig. 7 showed the tan delta

of PIN0 to PIN63 films measured by dynamic mechanical analysis. The peak of tan delta was

assigned as glass transition temperature (Tg) and the values were listed in Table 4.

The Tg value of these films was all over 330 oC, on the other hand, the damping values of

PIN20 and PIN63 were all smaller than PIN0. The PIN0 film showed a Young’s modulus of 0.94

GPa and 24.3% elongation at break as shown in Fig. 8 and Table 4. Notably, the PIN20

crosslinkable film with shorter crosslinking chain length had a higher crosslinking density and

higher modulus and consequently were more rigid and brittle [29]. When the content of

triallylamine was higher than 20 mol%, the crosslinking chain became longer and flexible. Hence,

the improved tensile property of those crosslinkable ALPIs was revealed in the stress–strain curves.

The coefficient of thermal expansion (C.T.E.) of PIN0-PIN63 was in the range of 47.53-57.36

ppm/oC determined from TMA. After crosslinking, the crosslinkable structure limited the mobility

of polymer backbone that ALPIs (PIN20-PIN63) exhibited lower C.T.E. than PIN0. The lowest

C.T.E. obtained in the study was from PIN20, 47.53 ppm/oC, which was 17 % smaller than that of

PIN0.

Conclusions

Novel transparent alicyclic polyimides with crosslinkable structures were synthesized. All ALPI

films, especially for PIN63, was entirely colorless and showed excellent optical properties,

including high transparency (> 80%) in near ultraviolet region, short cut-off wavelength (< 300 nm)

and low haze (0.68). The refractive index of ALPI films was about 1.61 and the Abbe number was

in a range from 117 to 165. The intensity of fluorescence of PIN63 was 9-fold higher than PIN0.

The increase in Stoke shift and the decrease in refractive indice of PIN63 films confirmed the

polymer chains were swelled. The ALPI had good thermal stability with few weight loss up to

400oC, and possessed a Tg ranging from 333 to 338

oC. The elongation of break was 138% and

Young’s modulus was 1.09 GPa for PIN63. In particular, PIN63 was a colorless, tough and flexible

PI film with a low C.T.E. of 47 ppm/ o

C and was a promising candidate for the flexible substrate.
