Polyimide photosensitive siloxane

Some new electronic applications of polyimide-siloxane adhesives have been already partially reviewed. In addition, the development of photo-crosslinkable copolymers has been of great interest for the development of components of electronic devices [126]. The general field of photosensitive polymers was reviewed by Horie and Hamishita in 1995 [127]. A number of papers have investi-... 

Thermal tempering of the photosensitive or cross-linked polymer gives the polyimide siloxane which has been previously shown to be an excellent candidate as an insulating polymer in electronics. The use of such a directly patternable polyimide for dielectric and passivation applications, particularly in microelectronics, should become increasingly important as polyimides become more widely accepted in the industry. 

The proposed chapter reviews the work done on 6FDA based fluorinated Pis with respect to its synthesis and various copolymers, polymerisation methods, poly(ether-imide), photosensitive polyimide, hyperbranched polyimide, addition polyimide, poly(amide-imide), poly(urethane-imide), poly(epoxy-imide), poly(ester-imide), poly(siloxane-imide), nanocomposites and non-linear optical polyimides. Finally, its application in electronics and use as a material for gas separation and corrosion protection are discussed.
