Synthesis of Fully Aliphatic Polyimides

Fully aliphatic polyimides (APIs) have been synthesized. APIs were prepared by poly(addition-condensation) of the alicyclic dianhydride bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2, 3, 5, 6-tetra-carboxylic 2, 3:5, 6-dianhydride with the aliphatic diamine 5-amino-1, 3, 3-trimethylcyclo-hexanemethylamine, the mixture of 2, 5- and 2, 6-bis(aminomethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane or 1, 4-cyclohexanebis(methylamine) in m-cresol at high temperature. The polymerization proceeded smoothly at 200 °C and produced APIs with inherent viscosities up to 0.48 dl g−1. The APIs were soluble in a wide range of polar solvents and showed high thermal stability and excellent transparency.
