Abstract:SiO2/PI composite films with different percentage of incorporated nanoSiO2 were synthesized. With the increase of the adding SiO2 content, the surface roughness and the fractal dimension increased by SEM characterization for the fracture surface, and the thermal property of SiO2/PI composite films improved. The results indicate that the degree of imidization of the polyimide was full, and the polymer structure transformed from disorder into order after SiO2 was added to the PI matrix.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
