In this study, reduced graphene oxide/polyimide (r-GO/PI) composite films, which showed significant enhancement in their electrical conductivity, were successfully fabricated. GO was prepared from graphite using a modified Hummers method. The GO was used as a nanofiller material for the preparation of r-GO/PI composites by in-situ polymerization. An addition of 20 wt% of GO led to a significant decrease in the volume resistivity of composite films by less than nine orders of magnitude compared to that of pure PI films due to the electrical percolation networks of reduced GO created during imidization within the films. A tensile test indicated that the Young's modulus of the r-GO/PI composite film containing 20 wt% GO increased drastically from 2.3 GPa to 4.4 GPa, which was an improvement of approximately 84% compared to that of pure PI film. In addition, the corresponding tensile strength was found to have decreased only by 12%, from 113 MPa to 99 MPa.

Polyimides are one of the most important classes of polymers used in the microelectronics and photoelectronics industries. Because of their high thermal stability, chemical resistance, and good mechanical and electric properties, polyimides are often applied in photoresists, passivation and dielectric films, soft print circuit boards, and alignment films within displays. Recently, fully aliphatic and alicyclic polyimides have found applications as optoelectronics and inter layer dielectric materials, due to their good transparencies and low dielectric constants $(\varepsilon)$. The low molecular density, polarity and rare probability of forming inter- or intra-molecular charge transfers, resulting in lowering of the dielectric constant and high transparency, are the most striking characteristics of aliphatic polyimide. However, the ultimate end use of polyimides derived from aliphatic monomers is in their targeted applications that need less stringent thermal requirements. Much research effort has been exerted in the development of aliphatic polyimide with increased thermal and mechanical stabilities, while maintaining their transparencies and low dielectric constants, by the incorporation of rigid moieties. In this article, the recent research process in synthesizing fully aliphatic polyimides, with improved dimensional stability, high transparency and low $\delta$values, as well as the characterizations and future scope for their application in micro electric and photo-electronic industries, is reviewed.

Novel multiblock copolymers, based on segmented sulfonated hydrophilic-hydrophobic blocks, were synthesized and investigated for their application as proton exchange membranes. A series of segmented sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone)-b-polyimide multiblock copolymers, with various block lengths, were synthesized via the coupling reaction between the terminal amine moieties on the hydrophilic blocks and naphthalene anhydride functionalized hydrophobic blocks. Successful imidization reactions required a mixed solvent system, comprised of NMP and m-cresol, in the presence of catalysts. Proton conductivity measurements revealed that the proton conductivity improved with increasing hydrophilic and hydrophobic block lengths. The morphological structure of the multiblock copolymers was investigated using tapping mode atomic force microscopy (TM-AFM). The AFM images of the copolymers demonstrated well-defined nanophase separated morphologies, with the changes in the block length having a pronounced effect on the phase separated morphologies of the system. The self diffusion coefficient of water, as measured by $^1H$ NMR, provided a better understanding of the transport process. Thus, the block copolymers showed higher values than Nafion, and comparable proton conductivities in liquid water, as well as under partially hydrated conditions at $80^{\circ}C$. The new materials are strong candidates for use in PEM systems.

A series of colorless polyimide (PI) nanocomposite films were synthesized from 2,2'-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA) and 2,2'-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,4'-diaminobiphenyl (TFDB) with various organoclay contents by solution intercalation polymerization to poly(amic acid)s, followed by thermal imidization. The variation with the organoclay content of the thermomechanical properties, morphology, and optical transparency of the hybrids was examined at organoclay loadings ranging from 0 to 1.0 wt%. The hybrid films showed high optical transparency and almost no color, with cut-off wavelengths ranging from 352 and 356 nm and very low $b^*$ values of 1.19-1.77. The hybrid PI films showed good thermal properties with a glass transition temperature of $280-287^{\circ}C$. Most films did not show any significant thermal decomposition below $490^{\circ}C$. The addition of only a small amount of organoclay was sufficient to improve the tensile properties of the PI films with maximum enhancement being observed at 0.25 wt% organoclay. Moreover, these PI hybrids also had low coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE).

Tricyclic aliphatic dianhydride monomer, tricycle[4.2.2.0]dec-9-ene exo, endo-3,4: 7,8-tetra-carboxylicdianhydride (TCDDA), was synthesized by photochemical reaction and poly(amic acid)s from TCDDA and diamines such as 1,4-bis-(4-aminophenoxy)benzene (BAB), 2,2-bis(4-(4-aminophenoxy) phenyl) propane (BAPP), 2,2-bis(4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl)hexafluoropropane (BAPHF), bis(4-(4-ami-nophenoxy) phenyl)sulfone (BAPS), and 1,4-bis-(4-aminophenoxy)biphenyl (BABP) were prepared. The inherent viscosities of the poly(amic acid)s were between 0.39 and 0.50 dL/g. The poly(amic acid)s were converted to polyimide films by thermal imidization. The glass transition temperatures (T$\_$g/) of the polyimides were in the range of 201-263$\^{C}$. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) thermogram of these polyimides showed the temperatures of 5% weight losses between 375 and 393$\^{C}$ in nitrogen atmosphere. To show their utility for image generation, degradations of these polyimides in UV exposure were investigated by UV spectroscopy.

다양한 조성의 PMDA/BPDA/p-PDA/ODA로 이루어진 폴리아믹산을 합성하여 다양한 조성의 4성분계 폴리이미드 필름을 열적 이미드화 공정을 통해 제조하였다. 제조된 폴리이미드 필름의 화학 구조 및 열적 기계적 특성은 퓨리에 변환 적외선 분광기(FT-IR), 열중량 분석기(TGA), 열 기계 분석기(TMA), 동 역학적 거동 분석기(DMA), 그리고 만능 인장시험기(UTM) 등을 이용하여 조사하였다. 강직한 구조의 PMDA와 p-PDA의 함량이 증가할수록 인장강도, 탄성률 및 열적 특성이 향상되었고, 상대적으로 유연한 구조의 BPDA와 ODA의 함량이 증가할수록 신장률과 흡습률이 각각 증가하였다. 특히, 열팽창계수(CTE)값은 PMDA : BPDA : p-PDA : ODA의 조성이 5 : 5 : 4 : 6 조성일 때 동박의 CTE와 유사한 결과를 나타내었으며, 이와 같은 조성을 갖는 4성분계 폴리이미드 필름의 경우 유연성 회로 기판의 flexible copper clad laminates (FCCL)을 위한 기본 필름으로 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Tetramethylorthosilicate와 glycidol을 이용하여 액상의 에폭시 그룹을 함유한 실란 올리고머를 합성하고, p-PDA/ODA 그리고 PMDA/BPDA 단량체로부터 제조된 4성분계 폴리아믹산과 혼성화시켜 고점도의 폴리아믹산/실리카 혼성체를 합성하였다. 그리고 이를 열적 이미드화 공정을 거쳐 폴리이미드/실리카 혼성화 필름을 제조하였다. 혼성화 필름의 특성을 분석한 결과, 열팽창계수는 실리카 함량이 높을수록 최초 17 ppm/K에서 10 ppm/K까지 감소하였고, 탄성률은 증가하였으나 인장강도는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 유연성 동박 적층 필름을 제조하여 분석한 결과, 실리카 함량 변화에 따라 접착력은 $0.43kg_f/cm$에서 $1.02kg_f/cm$까지 증가하였다. 따라서 높은 접착력을 요구하는 유연성 동박 적층 필름 제조시에는 실리카와 혼성된 폴리이미드 필름이 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 화학적 구조가 다른 2종의 dianhydride 단량체인 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracar boxylic dianhydride (PMDA)와 4,4'-(4,4'-isopropylidenediphenoxy)bis(phthalic anhydride) (BPADA) 및 2종의 diamine 단량체인 m-phenylenediamine (m-PDA)와 4,4'-oxydianiline (ODA)의 몰 비를 조절함으로써 9종의 폴리이미드를 합성하였다. 합성된 폴리이미드를 사용하여 casting method로 2층형 Flexible Copper Clad Laminate(FCCL)을 제조한 후, 열적 특성, 흡수율 및 접착력을 평가하였다. 제작된 폴리이미드의 유리전이온도$(T_g)$와 시료가 5 wt% 손실되는 분해 온도를 측정한 결과, m-PDA와 PMDA의 함량이 증가할수록 유리전이온도 및 시료가 5 wt% 손실되는 온도가 증가하였다. 폴리이미드의 흡수율은 ODA와 BPADA가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 이는 ODA와 BPADA의 상대적으로 긴 분자 구조 때문으로 판단된다. 박리 시험을 실시한 결과, ODA와 BPADA의 함량이 증가할수록 접착력이 증가하였다.

VA-LCDs is widely used for recent LCD productions owing to wide viewing angle characteristics with an unusually high contrast ratio. To apply for VA-LCDs, the novel homeotropic alignment materials were synthesized, which have the liquid crystal molecule as a side chain at aromatic diamine in a polyimide structure. These polyimides generated a high pretilt angle $90^{\circ}C$. In this paper, the synthesis and alignment properties of new homeotropic alignment materials will be discussed..
