Abstract
Abstract Polyimides and polyamide-acids having improved solubility and processing characterisitcs are provided having incorporated into the polymeric chain as a novel aromatic diamine compound, 2-(3-aminophenyl)-2-(4-aminophenyl) hexafluoropropane (3,4'-6F Diamine). The polyamide-acids and polyimides are prepared by reacting the 3,4'-6F Diamine with aromatic tetracarboxylic acids or anhydrides thereof. It has been found that the polyimides of this invention have improved solubility characterisitics, low dielectric constants and improved thermal flow properties as a consequence of the meta/para positioning of the amino groups on the diamine, which renders these polymers more readily melt spinnable for the production of fibers. The polymers may also be compression molded and fabricated into composites at moderate temperatures and pressures. Solutions of the polyimides may be cast into films.
