Abstract

Microwave processing has been used to reduce the long process cycles normally associated with the curing cycles for highly ordered polyimides, such as BPDA-PDA. These materials have found applications in the electronics industry due to the excellent thermal stability and low coefficient of thermal expansion of this class of polymers. Thin polymer films - an application not normally considered for microwave curing - were processed and the dependence of the mechanical properties compared with conventional thermal processing.
