Synthesis and properties of transparent polyimides derived from trans-1,4-bis(2,3-dicarboxyphenoxy)cyclohexane dianhydride

Abstract

A series of transparent polyimides was prepared from <italic>trans</italic>-1,4-bis(2,3-dicarboxyphenoxy)cyclohexane dianhydride (<italic>trans</italic>-3,3′-CHDPA) with various aromatic diamines <italic>via</italic> one-step solution polycondensation.
