Abstract:

In order to improve the mechanical properties of polyimide (PI) fibers and promote their applications for composites, the spinning dopes were synthesized by an aromatic heterocyclic diamine monomer of 2-(4-aminophenyl)-5-aminobenzimidazole (BIA) with rigid polyimide backbones of 3,3',4,4'-biphenyl tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA) and p-phenylene diamine (p-PDA), which were based on a structural design of high-performance polymeric fibers. The PI fibers were prepared via dry-spinning the BPDA-PDA-BIA solution. The relationships between mechanical properties of the fibers and chemical construction and aggregation structure were studied. In addition, the thermal properties and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation resistance of the fibers were evaluated systematically. The results show that the PI fibers reach the optimum tensile strength and initial modulus of 4.04 and 130 GPa, respectively, mainly due to the high orientation of the polymer chains along the fiber direction and the intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions. The glass-transition and 10%-weight-loss temperature of the PI-4 fiber are 324 and 587 ℃, and the fiber retains 92% of its tensile strength after 168 h of UV irradiation, indicating prominent UV irradiation resistance and excellent thermal stability.

Key words: polyimide fiber, dry spinning, aggregation structure, UV irradiation resistance, high-strength high-modulus
