Soluble polyimides that contain internal acetylene groups in the backbone were prepared by reacting 2,2-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane dianhydride with various ratio of bis(3-aminophenyl)acetylene and 4,4`-diaminodiphenyl ether. The polyimides were soluble in organic solvents such as N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and N,N-dimethylacetamide, and exhibited reduced viscosities in the range of 0.76-1.44 (in NMP at 30{degrees}C). The crosslinking behavior was examined by DSC. The onset of exotherm appeared at 321-345{degrees}C depending on the acetylene content. After thermal treatment at 350{degrees}C, the polyimides became insoluble in any organic solvents examined and in conc. sulfuric acid. The viscoelastic analyses showed the effect of crosslinking clearly. For example, Tg increased with thermal treatment, and was finally above 400{degrees}C. The drop of modulus at higher temperature also became very small. The TGA analyses also showed excellent thermal stability.
