Keywords Polyimides, synthetic methods, properties of polyimides, structural modification, preparation condition 

Polyimides, possessing the cyclic imide groups and aromatic groups in the main chain, are recognized as very high performance 

Vikas Mittal (ed.) High Performance Polymers and Engineering Plastics, (205-242) 

This chapter introduces the synthetic methods for polyimides and the relationship between their structures and properties. In order to show the remarkable effects of pol)dmide structures on their properties, the properties of polyimides from characteristic monomers are mainly described.
