A series of fluorinated poly(ether imide)s containing pyridine and/or phenylphosphine oxide moieties were prepared from bis(3-aminophenyl)phenylphosphine oxide (BAPPO), 2,2∩-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA), and 9FPBAPP via a conventional two-step thermal imidization procedure with various mole ratios of BAPPO and 9FPBAPP. All the polymers were amorphous and soluble in common organic solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and had Tg*s of 277每285∼C, 5% weight loss temperature of 521每550∼C in nitrogen. Furthermore, high char yields and good limited oxygen index values indicated that these polymers exhibited good thermal stability and flame-retardant property. Tough and flexible polymer films also had good mechanical properties with tensile strengths of 75每99 MPa, tensile moduli of 1.1每1.6 GPa, and elongations at break of 12%每24% and low dielectric constants of 2.81每3.53 (1 MHz), as well as high optical transparency with the ultraviolet cutoff wavelength in the range of 350每384 nm %K Fluorinated poly(ether imide)s %K pyridine %K phenylphosphine oxide %K synthesis and property %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0954008318801905
