Graphical abstract: The hexagonal disklike ZnO particles with a diameter of 300-500 nm were synthesized from zinc acetate and NaOH in water with citric acid. ZnO/polyimide composite films with different ZnO contents was prepared. The prepared zinc oxide-polyimide composites were characterized for their structure, morphology and thermal behavior. Composites with ZnO particle contents from 1 to 5 wt% show good transparency in the visible region and luminescent properties. Highlights: {yields} A series of novel ZnO/polyimide composite films with different ZnO contents was prepared. {yields} The ZnO was homogeneously dispersed in the PI matrix. {yields} The composites showed the low dielectric constant of 50 at 10{sup 6} Hz. {yields} Homogenous dispersion and the amount of ZnO particles contributed to the dielectric properties of composites. -- Abstract: A series of novel ZnO/polyimide composite films with different ZnO contents was prepared through incorporation hexagonal disklike ZnO particles into poly(amic acid) of the pre polymer of the polyimide. The hexagonal disklike ZnO particles with a diameter of 300-500 nm were synthesized from zinc acetate and NaOH in water with citric acid. The prepared zinc oxide-polyimide composites were characterized for their structure, morphology, and thermal behavior employing Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron micrograph, X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis techniques. Thermal analyses show that the ZnO particles were successfully incorporated into the polymer matrix and these ZnO/polymer composites have a good thermal stability. Scanning electron microscopy studies indicate the ZnO particles were uniformly dispersed in the polymer and they remained at the original size (300-500 nm) before immobilization. All composite films with ZnO particle contents from 1 to 5 wt% show good transparency in the visible region and luminescent properties.
