Soluble photosensitive polyamide, which has a photoreactive 1, 4-phenylenediacryloyl (PDA) moiety in the main chain with biphenyl side groups, was synthesized with high molecular weights. The polymer produced high quality films through conventional spin- casting and dry processing with relatively good thermal stability. The photochemical reactions of the polyamide in the films were investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy; the ...
