ISOTROPIC POLYIMIDE FILM AND PROCESS FOR ITS PREPARATION

摘要

An isotropic, biaxially stretched polyimide film prepared by casting a solution of a polyamic acid precursor in an organic solvent containing a cyclization catalyst and dehydrating agent onto the surface of a support, imidizing the polyamic acid to give a continuous self-supporting gel film containing 5-50 % by weight of solids, stretching the gel film in the machine direction (MD) at a ratio of 1.1-1.9, and stretching in the transverse direction (TD) with respect to the machine direction so as to maintain a TD/MD stretch ratio of from 0.9 to 1.3.
