Synopsis

This volume documents the proceedings of the "Second International Symposium on Polyimides and Other High Temperature Polymers: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications, held in Newark, New Jersey, December 3-6, 2001.

Polyimides possess many desirable attributes, so this class of materials has found applications in many technologies ranging from microelectronics to high temperature adhesives to membranes.
This volume contains a total of 32 papers, all rigorously peer reviewed and revised before inclusion, addressing many aspects and new developments in polyimides and other high temperature polymers. The book is divided into two parts: Synthesis, Properties and Bulk Characterization and Surface Modification, Interfacial or Adhesion Aspects and Applications.

The topics covered include: synthesis and characterization of a variety of polyimides; photoalignable polyimides; high-modulus poly(p-phenylenepyromellitimide) films; structure-property relationships in polyimides; aromatic benzoxazole polymers; polybenzobisthiazoles; polyimide L-B films; transport of water in high Tg polymers; surface modification of polyimides; adhesion of metal films to polyimide and other polymers; investigation of interfacial interactions between metals and polymers; polyimide film surface properties; applications of polyimides in microelectronics, as membranes for gas separation, as composite films; fabrication of thin-film transistors on polyimide films; polyimide modified with fullerenes; semicrystalline polyimides for advanced composites; and wear performance of polyetherimide composite.

From the Back Cover

Because of their many desirable attributes, polyimides constitute an important class of materials and they have found applications in many and varied arenas ranging from microelectronics to aerospace to membrane technology to adhesives. The book is divided into four parts as follows: Part 1: Synthesis, Properties and Bulk Characterization; Part 2: Surface and Adhesion Aspects; Part 3: Applications; Part 4: General Papers. The topics covered include: synthesis of various kinds of polyimides with different characteristics; structure-property relationships; photo-definable polyimides and other materials; space-survivability of polyimides; heavy ion irradiation of polyimides; surface modification and adhesion aspects of polyimides; metallization of polyimides; polyimide foam nanocomposites; ion-containing polyimides; zeolite modified polyimides; cobalt-containing polyimides; application of polyimides in aerospace, micro-electronics, purification of bio-fuels, membrane technology, moisture absorption and sensing, low Earth orbit, and others; organosilicon films and lifetime assessment of high-temperature fibers. This book represents the cumulative wisdom of many world-renowned scientists and technologists and reflects the current state-of-the-knowledge in the domain of polyimides and other high temperature polymers. All signals indicate that interest in these materials will continue unabated and as their new and improved versions are developed, more new applications will emerge. In essence, this book provides a repository of current information on this topic and should be of interest and value to anyone interested in polyimides and other high temperature polymers.
