Organosoluble polyimide/silica hybrid materials were prepared using the sol-gel process. The organosoluble polyimide was based on pyromellitic anhydride (PMDA) and 4,4Ј-diamino-3,3Ј-dimethyldiphenylmethane (MMDA). The silica particle size in the hybrid is increased from 100 -200 nm for the hybrid co

✦ Synopsis
Polyimide-silica (PI-SiO 2 ) hybrids with a nanostructure was obtained using the nonaqueous sol-gel process by polycondensation of phenyltriethoxysilane in a polyamic acid solution. Self-catalyzed hydrolysis of phenyl-substituted akoxysilane and modification on the polyimide structure are applied and result in highly compatible PI-SiO 2 hybrids. Transparent PI-SiO 2 with a high silica content of about 45% was thus obtained. The prepared PI-SiO 2 films were characterized by infrared spectrometry, 29 Si-NMR, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy. These characterizations showed the silica influence on the properties of the hybrid. The thermal expansion coefficient of the PI-SiO 2 and the temperature correlation were also established for probing the potential for application.
