Structure and Tensile Properties of Polyimide Fibers

In most of the previous work with polyimide fibers, the fibers were spun from poly(amic acid) precursors, which were thermally imidized in the fiber form. However, high degrees of imidization were not achieved. Thus, tensile properties of these polymers were not as good as those of high-performance fibers. Work in our laboratories has shown that when the fibers are spun directly from preimidized polymers, it is possible to achieve tensile properties that are as good or even better than those of poly(p-phenyleneterephthalamide) (PPTA or Kevlar ) fibers. For example, fibers have been prepared from m-cresol solutions of BPDA-PFMB using a dry-jet wet-spinning method. The as-spun fibers were then extensively drawn and annealed above 400°C to achieve excellent mechanical properties. [Pg.361]
