Polyimide/mesoporous silica composite films were prepared by direct mixing of polyamic acid solution and silylated mesoporous silica particles, or by condensation polymerization of dianhydride and diamine with silylated mesoporous silica particles in N,N-dimethylacetamide, followed with thermal imidization. Structure and glass transition temperatures of the composite films were measured with FTIR, SEM, EDX, XPS and DMTA. The results show that the silylated mesoporous silica particles in the composites tend to form the aggregation with a strip shape due to phase separation. The composite films exhibit higher glass transition temperature as comparing with that of pure polyimide. It is found that the composite films present lower infrared emissivity value than the pure polyimide and the magnitude of infrared emissivity value is related to the content of silylated mesoporous silica in the composite films. Inhibiting actions of silylated mesoporous silica on infrared emission of the composite films may be owing to presence of nanometer-scale pores in silylated mesoporous silica.
