고분자 주쇄(Main chain)의 소수성을 가지는 플루오르 그룹을 배제시킨 습도 민감성 폴리이미드를 합성 및 이미드화 하였고, 이를 이용한 초고참도 습도 센서를 제작 및 측정하였다. 사용된 폴리이미드는 다이아민계로 Oxydianyline(ODA)와 다이안하이드라이드계로 Pyromellitic dianhydried(PMDA)를 유기용매 Dimethyla cetamide(DMAc) 하에서 폴리이미드 전구체 (Polyamic acid)를 합성하였으며, 진공 및 승온 조건에서 유기용매를 제거하여 이미드화(Imidization) 반응을 진행시켜 제조하였다. 본 습도 센서는 정전용량형 고감도 습도 센서로 디자인되었으며 실리콘 웨이퍼상에서 일반적인 반도체 공정을 이용하여 구현하였다. 본 습도 센서는 센서 크기와 유효면적, 감습층의 두께를 주요 변수로 설정하였으며 이에 따른 습도 민감성 효과를 평가 및 분석하였다. 측정 결과 유효면적 70%, 감습층 두께 $1.1{\mu}m$ 로 제작된 습도 센서는 상대숨도$20%{\sim}90%$ 영역에서 캐패시턴스와 선형적 상관관계를 보여주고 있으며, 습도 민감도는 3.9 pF/%RH 클 얻을 수 있었다.

Poly(amic acid)s were successfully synthesized from 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene (1,4-APB) or 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]hexafluoropropane (HFBAPP) with pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), 3,3'-4,4'-benzopenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA) and $p$-phenylenediamine ($p$-PDA) and then they were effectively converted into polyimide films by thermal imidization. The chemical structure and thermo-mechanical properties of polyimide films were examined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermo-gravimetric analyzer (TGA), thermo-mechanical analyzer, dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) and universal tensile machine (UTM). The moisture absorption, thermal and mechanical properties of polyimide films decreased with increasing the amount of 1,4-APB and HFBAPP. The polyimide films using HFBAPP showed lower properties than that of 1,4-APB at the same ratio, but it displayed better thermal properties and lower moisture absorption at the similar coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) with a copper. On the basis of our finding, it is concluded that 4-component polyimide films could be utilized for base films for flexible copper clad laminates (FCCL) of flexible printed circuit boards.

We demonstrate a new surface modification of high-voltage lithium cobalt oxide ($LiCoO_2$) cathode active materials for lithium-ion batteries. This approach is based on exploitation of a polarity-tuned gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) coating. Herein, two contrast polymers having different polarity are chosen: polyimide (PI) synthesized from thermally curing 4-component (pyromellitic dianhydride/biphenyl dianhydride/phenylenediamine/oxydianiline) polyamic acid (as a polar GPE) and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) containing 12 wt% vinyl acetate repeating unit (as a less polar GPE). The strong affinity of polyamic acid for $LiCoO_2$ allows the resulting PI coating layer to present a highly-continuous surface film of nanometer thickness. On the other hand, the less polar EVA coating layer is poorly deposited onto the $LiCoO_2$, resulting in a locally agglomerated morphology with relatively high thickness. Based on the characterization of GPE coating layers, their structural difference on the electrochemical performance and thermal stability of high-voltage (herein, 4.4 V) $LiCoO_2$ is thoroughly investigated. In comparison to the EVA coating layer, the PI coating layer is effective in preventing the direct exposure of $LiCoO_2$ to liquid electrolyte, which thus plays a viable role in improving the high-voltage cell performance and mitigating the interfacial exothermic reaction between the charged $LiCoO_2$ and liquid electrolytes.
