ABSTRACT
Poly(amic acid) (PAA) materials as the precursor of polyimide generally show remarkably poor mechanical properties, thus limiting their application as the engineering plastics. In this study, it is demonstrated that the mechanical properties of PAA materials can be improved significantly for tens of folds with breaking strength >50 MPa, Young's modulus >400 MPa, and elongation at break >300% by incorporation of 20% (mol%) poly(propylene glycol) (PPO) soft segments. The optimization for suitable hard-soft composition with 20% PPO and the existence of various hydrogen bonds with different binding energies can dissipate energies efficiently, which simultaneously improve the material strength and toughness. In addition, PAA82 films exhibit excellent tolerance toward cyclic stretch, and have the capability to resist various harsh conditions including solar radiation testing (1 sun), heat (85 °C), alkalinity (pH 10), and acidity (pH 4) over one month. Noted that PAA82 films can be laminated with Kapton films, which show excellent resistance to ultrahigh (200 °C) and ultralow temperature (-196 °C). The laminated film also exhibits bulletproof property with a thickness of 6 mm. The strategy via modulation of hard-soft compositions and hydrogen bonds in PAA materials shows great potentials to improve the mechanical properties of polymeric materials.
