Synthesis and Properties of Partially Fluorinated Polyimides for Optical Applications

  • Chapter
Fluoropolymers 2

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Chemistry ((TAPP))

Conclusion

Fluorinated polyimides with high thermal stability were synthesized for optical applications. Introducing fluorine into polyimides achieves a high optical transparency in the visible and near-IR wavelength region, low water absorption, and low refractive index. Low-thermal-expansion polyimides with fluorinated side groups are also synthesized by introducing fluorine into polyimide molecules and by constructing rigid-rod structures. The refractive index can be precisely controlled by copolymerization of the high-fluorine-content 6FDA/TFDB polyimide and the low-fluorine-content PMDA/TFDB polyimide, and by electron beam irradiation. These copolyimides also make it possible to fit CTE to other materials such as Si, SiO2, and metals by changing the 6FDA/TFDB content. The in-plane/out-of-plane birefringence can be also controlled by copolymerization, and the in-plane birefringence can be precisely controlled by the rigid-rod PMDA/TFDB polyimide. Optical devices for telecommunications, optical interference filters, optical waveplates, and single-mode waveguides were fabricated using these fluorinated polyimides and copolyimides, which have proved to be both attractive and practical polymeric materials for optical applications.
