Abstract
A polyimide-forming composition includes a particulate polyimide precursor composition having an average particle size of 0.1 to 100 micrometers wherein the polyimide precursor composition comprises a substituted or unsubstituted C4-40 bisanhydride, and a substituted or unsubstituted divalent C1-20 diamine; an aqueous carrier; and a surfactant. A method of manufacturing an article including a polyimide includes the steps of forming a preform comprising the polyimide-forming composition; and heating the preform at a temperature and for a period of time effective to imidize the polyimide precursor composition and form the polyimide. An article prepared by the method, and a layer or coating including a polyimide and a surfactant are also described.
Claims14
A method of manufacturing an article comprising a polyimide, the method comprising
- forming a preform comprising a polyimide-forming composition comprising:
- a particulate polyimide precursor composition having a maximum particle size of 100 micrometers or less, for example 0.01 to 100 micrometers, wherein the polyimide precursor composition comprises
- a substituted or unsubstituted C4-40 bisanhydride, and
- a substituted or unsubstituted divalent C1-20 diamine;
- an aqueous carrier;
- and
- a surfactant;
- the method comprising:
- heating the preform at a temperature and for a period of time effective to imidize the polyimide precursor composition and form the polyimide;
- wherein the polyimide has less than 1 wt % organic solvent.
