Polyimide is a polymer of imide monomers. The structure of imide is as shown. Polyimides have been in mass production since 1955. Typical monomers include pyromellitic dianhydride and 4,4 '-oxydianiline. Polyimides are a very interesting group of incredibly strong and astoundingly heat and chemical resistant polymers. Their strength and heat and chemical resistance are so great that these materials often replace glass and metals, such as steel, in many demanding industrial applications. Polyimides are even used in many everyday applications CLASSIFICATION According to the composition of their main chain, polyimides can be:
  

Aliphatic (linear polyimides), Semi-aromatic, Aromatic: R ' and R" are two carbon atoms of an aromatic ring. These are the most used polyimides because of their thermostability.

According to the type of interactions between the main chains, polyimides can be:
 

Thermoplastic: very often called pseudothermoplastic. Thermosetting: commercially available as uncured resins, polyimide solutions, stock shapes, thin sheets, laminates and machined parts

PROPERTIES           Exceptional mechanical strength Low dielectric constant Flexible Polishable to Angstrom level surface finishes Excellent dimensional stability Low water absorption High temperature stability Excellent machinability Non-contaminating Low coefficient of thermal expansion

REASON FOR ITS MECHANICAL STRENGTH The charge transfer complex between various imide monomers works between adjacent units in the polymer chain and between chains. The chains will stack together like strips of paper, with donors and acceptors paired up.

This charge transfer complex holds the chains together very tightly, not allowing them to move around

    Polymers a large molecules made up of a chain of smaller molecules, known as monomers. The monomers that a polymer is made up of decide its structure and therefore it's function. These monomers are linked and coiled in a very specific manor giving the polymer a specific tertiary structure (an extensively coiled and linked polymer chain caused as a result of the formation of more bonds forming). This tertiary structure is crucial to the function of a polymer as it denotes the necessary shape of the complementary molecule. This is easier explained through an example.…

    Polymers are large macromolecules composed of many small repeating subunits (monomers) connected via covalent bonds. Both natural and synthetic polymers are created via polymerization of these small molecules (Chemistry 144 Writing Assignment information sheet). The chosen polymer, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in the form of Teflon®, is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (Wikipedia, 2015), and is one of the most well-known brand names for PTFE based formulas, owned by DuPont Co.…

    Acetaminophen is a common analgesic used to treat mild pain. We synthesized acetaminophen by reacting p-aminophenol and acetic anhydride. The amine group on the p-aminophenol reacted with the center oxygen atom on the acetic anhydride to form an amide. We reacted 0.210g of p-aminophenol with 0.240ml of acetic anhydride in the presence of heat, and then cooled the solution in an ice bath until crystals formed. The solid acetaminophen was filtered from the solution and then subjected to a recrystallization using a 50:50 water-ethanol solvent. 0.1484g of crude acetaminophen was measured and after purification 0.0669g of pure acetaminophen was collected. A percent yield of 23% was calculated from our theoretical and actual yield. The melting point…

    Aspirin is a salicylate, also known as a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is the generic name of acetylsalicylic acid and is used clinically to treat fever, pain and inflammation as it works by preventing the formation of prostaglandin. Prostaglandin is the active agent that is responsible for the sensitisation at the nerve endings. It can be administered orally, rectally or by intravenous route. (6)…

    Based on the nature of the mobile and stationary phases used in this experiment the effect of the polarity of the side chain is that the distance will not rise up on the paper if it is polar. The paper is made of cellulose which is polar so the attraction to the paper will not let the amino acids go any further up the paper. When the amino acids rise up quickly it is known as a nonpolar.…
