Abstract

Polyimides with a combination of properties including low solar absorptivity (α) in thin films, atomic oxygen (AO), and ultraviolet (UV) radiation resistance, solubility in organic solvents in the imide form, high glass transition (T g) temperatures, and high thermal stability have been prepared and characterized. The polymers were prepared by reacting a novel aromatic diamine,[2, 4-bis (3-aminophenoxy) phenyl] diphenylphosphine oxide (2), with aromatic ...
