Features: Polyimide is one of the major varieties of aromatic heterocyclic polymers developed in the past half century and also belongs to the highest temperature-resistant class of polymer materials. Due to its excellent comprehensive properties, multiple synthetic pathways, and versatile processing methods, it is widely used in various material forms in fields such as aviation, aerospace, electrical, mechanical, microelectronics, and chemical engineering. This book provides a relatively comprehensive introduction to the chemistry, structure-property relationships, and materials of polyimides. The content not only includes the accumulated research findings of the author's team over more than 40 years in polyimide studies but also reflects the advanced technologies and latest developments at home and abroad as much as possible. For convenience of reading, an English abbreviation and structure comparison table, as well as related data tables, are appended at the end of the book. This book is suitable for researchers and graduate students engaged in polymer synthesis, performance, processing, and applications, and can also serve as a reference for engineering and technical personnel working in related polymer material fields.
