Abstract
We had reported that lozenge-shaped crystals and microspheres of poly(p-phenylene pyromelliteimide) were prepared by means of reaction-induced phase separation of oligomers during solution polymerization. These morphologies could be controlled on the basis of the miscibility between solvent and oligomers. In this paper, we investigated on the morphology control of Kapton by using the phase separation of oligomer during polymerization. Microspheres of Kapton were obtained in an aromatic solvent at a concentration of 3.0 wt/vol%. In contrast to this, lath-like crystals and spheres composed of plate-like crystals were obtained at a concentration of 0.5 wt/vol%. These products exhibited high crystallinity and possessed high heat-resistance. Influences of solvent and polymerization temperature on the morphology were also presented.
