Nanoparticle Dispersion and Glass Transition Behavior of Polyimide-grafted Silica Nanocomposites

Anisotropic Polyimide/Cellulose Nanofibril Composite Aerogels for Thermal Insulation and Flame Retardancy

“…At one time, chemical crosslinking agents, such as octa­(aminophenyl) silsesquioxane (OAPS), , 1,3,5-triaminophenoxybenzene (TAB), − and 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl trichloride (BTC), − have been used for fabricating PI aerogels to reduce the shrinkage effectively. Recently, functionally modified nanoparticles such as silica, ,, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), − TiC 2 T x (MXene), graphene oxide (GO), and methylcellulose (MC) are introduced to prepare low-shrinkage PI composite aerogels via chemical and/or physical interactions. However, a continuing challenge in such an area is balancing the low density, high modulus, and superthermal insulation properties of PI aerogels.…”

Design and fabrication of photoactive imidazole-based poly(ether-imide)s and a polyimide/HBP-modified SiO2 composite: toward high heat-resistance, antimicrobial activity and removal of heavy metal ions

“…[12][13][14][15] Also, as matrices, they are oen considered the appropriate choice for preparing polymeric nanocomposites. [16][17][18][19] PIs have engendered signicant consideration for diverse applications such as functional membranes, gas separation, aerospace industry, and interlayer dielectrics (ILD) in electronic devices. [20][21][22] The rigid structure characteristics of PIs have a close relationship with the formation of charge transfer complexes (CTCs) in polymer chains; as such, the application and processability of traditional aromatic PIs are very limited.…”
