“…[70,79,91,102] Alicyclic PIs are suitable candidates for applications in optoelectronics and interlayer dielectrics due to their higher transparency and low dielectric constants when compared to aromatic PIs. [117][118][119][120][121][122] These properties originate from their relatively low molecular density, low polarity, and low probability of undergoing inter-or intra-molecular CT interaction. However, a serious problem occurs when aliphatic diamines, especially rigid cycloaliphatic diamine such as trans-1,4-cyclohexanediamine (t-CHDA) were used, that is, the formation of insoluble salt at the initial PAA formation stage, [79,91] This salt formation causes either termination or very poor degree of polymerization, leading to very low molecular weight, which is really a great obstacle for commercialization of CPI systems using aliphatic diamines.…”
