The polyimides exhibited low dielectric constant, excellent thermal stability, outstanding solubility, good film-forming property, and mechanical properties. The dielectric constants of the polyimides were in the range of 2.28-2.88(f = 10~4 Hz). The 5% weight-loss temperatures(Td 5%)in nitrogen were in the range of 555-584 °C, and the glass transition temperatures(T_g) were in the range of 408-448 °C. The weight loss of WuFPI-BP maintaining at 450 and 500 °C for half an hour was only 0.33% and 1.26%, respectively. All the WuFPIs could be dissolved in almost all organic solvents, even chloroform. The tensile strength and tensile modulus of these films were in the ranges of 78.6-85.7 MPa and 3.1-3.2 GPa, respectively. In addition, the polyimides displayed light color with special fluorescent and resistive switching(ON-OFF) characteristics; the maximum fluorescence emission was observed at 422-424 nm in NMP solution and at 470-548 nm in film state. The memory devices with the configuration of indium tin oxide/WuFPIs/aluminum(ITO/WuFPIs/Al) exhibited distinct volatile memory characteristics of static random access memory(SRAM), with an ON/OFF current ratio of 10~5-10~6. These functional polyimides showed attractive potential applications in the field of high performance flexible polymer photoelectronic devices or polymer memory devices.展开更多

A polymer (poly(9,10)anthracenevinylene-alt-4,4'-(9,9-bis(4-(4'-(1,2,2'-triphenyviny)phenoxy)butyl)-9H- fluorene-2,7-diyl) dibenzaldehyde), P1) was successfully synthesized through the Wittig-Horner re...A polymer (poly(9,10)anthracenevinylene-alt-4,4'-(9,9-bis(4-(4'-(1,2,2'-triphenyviny)phenoxy)butyl)-9H- fluorene-2,7-diyl) dibenzaldehyde), P1) was successfully synthesized through the Wittig-Horner reaction by employing fluorene and 9,10-distyrylanthracene moieties as building blocks for backbone and tetraphenylethenes as pendant groups. Photophysical and thermal properties of the resulting polymeric emitter were fully characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV- Vis) absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). While P1 emits an orange-light centered at 567 nm in dilute tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution, the solid powder of the polymer exhibits strong yellow emission peaked at 541 nm. It is also found that the as-synthesized polymer shows unique property of aggregation-enhanced emission (AEE). In addition, P1 possesses high thermal stability with a decomposition temperature (Td,5%) of 430 ℃ and high morphological stability with a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 171℃. Under the stimulus of mechanical force, the emission of P1 can be changed from yellow to red (△λmax = 61 rim), showing a remarkable mechanochromism. The results from XRD analysis suggest that such mechanochromic phenomenonof PI is probably caused by the destruction of crystalline structure, which leads to the conformational planarization of the distyrylanthracene moieties forming by the polymerization and the increase of molecular conjugation of the backbone.展开更多
