摘要

Comparative analysis of the influence of intrachain and interchain cross-linking structures on the dielectric of PI. Remarkably

PI films with an intrachain cross-linking structure exhibit a lower dielectric constant and dielectric loss compared to PI films with an interchain cross-linking structure.

Abstract

Polyimide (PI) is widely used in high-frequency communication technology due to its exceptional comprehensive properties. However

traditional PI has a relatively elevated dielectric constant and dielectric loss. Herein

the different cross-linked structures were introduced in PI matrix and conducted a detailed discussion on the influence of cross-linking agent content and cross-linking structure type on the overall performance of PI films. In comparison to the dielectric constant of 2.9 of neat PI

PI with an interchain cross-linking structure containing 2 wt% 1

5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene (TAPB) (interchain-PI-2) exhibited the reduced dielectric constant of 2.55 at 1 MHz. The PI films with intrachain cross-linking structure containing 2 wt% TAPB (intrachain-PI-2) exhibited the lowest dielectric constant of 2.35 and the minimum dielectric loss of 0.0075 at 1 MHz. It was due to the more entanglement junctions of intrachain-PI resulting in decreased carrier transport. The thermal expansion coefficients of both interchain-PI and intrachain-PI films were effectively reduced. Moreover

in contrast to interchain-PI films

the intrachain-PI films maintained colorlessness and transparency as the cross-linking agent content increased. This work compared the effects of two different cross-linked structures on the performance of PI films and provided a feasible way to obtain low-

PI films with excellent comprehensive performance for 5G applications.
