Hydroxyamide-containing Positive-type Photosensitive Polyimides

Synthesis and Characterization of Aryl Phosphine Oxide Containing Thermoplastic Polyimides and Thermosetting Polyimides with Controlled Reactivity

Phosphorus-Containing Sulfonated Polyimides for Proton Exchange Membranes

Synthesis and characterization of the novel sulfonated BAPPO monomer and its use in the synthesis of a new phosphine oxide-based sulfonated polyimide are described. BTDA, 6FDA, and DDS were used as monomers in the polyimide synthesis. Sulfonated polyimide membranes were obtained by a solution thermal imidization method. The thermal behavior of the polymers was investigated by DSC and TGA. The m...

Bromodomain-Containing Protein 2 gene in photosensitive epilepsy

PURPOSE Photosensitive epilepsy (PSE) is a form of reflex epilepsy characterized by seizures triggered by light. Genetic factors play an important role and some studies have indicated a possible role of the bromodomain-containing protein 2 (BRD2) gene. Our aim was to investigate the relationship between PSE and mutations of the BRD2 gene. METHODS Fifty-four PSE patients with normal findings o...

Properties of Fluorinated Polyimides

This paper reports on two fluorinated polyimides synthesized using a fluorinated diamine, 2,2'-bis(trifluoromethyl) -4,4'-diaminobiphenyl (TFDB). One polyimide, synthesized with TFDB and 2,2'-bis(3,4dicarboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane (6FDA), has a low dielectric constant, high optical transparency, and a low refractive index. The other, synthesized with TFDB and pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), ...

Highly optical transparency and thermally stable polyimides containing pyridine and phenyl pendant

In order to obtain highly optical transparency polyimides, two novel aromatic diamine monomers containing pyridine and kinky structures, 1,1-bis[4-(5-amino-2-pyridinoxy)phenyl]diphenylmethane (BAPDBP) and 1,1-bis[4-(5-amino-2-pyridinoxy)phenyl]-1-phenylethane (BAPDAP), were designed and synthesized. Polyimides based on BAPDBP, BAPDAP, 2,2-bis[4-(5-amino-2-pyridinoxy)phenyl]propane (BAPDP) with ...
