Abstract

A series of Rhenium (VII, Re7+) compound-doped polyimide (PI) nanohybrid films had been successfully fabricated from methyltrioxorhenium (MTO) and polyamic acid (PAA) via the solution direct-dispersing method, followed by a stepwise thermal imidization process. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed that MTO had decomposed into Re (IV) oxidation state (ReO2). Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) showed that for the differrent hybrid films, the ReO2 nanoparticles which formed by MTO decomposing well dispersed in polyimide matrix with a size of 40–60 nm. Thermal analysis indicated that the introduction of MTO decreased the thermal stability and the glass transition temperature (Tg) because of the unstable MTO. DMTA and static tensile measurements showed that the storage modulus and the elongation at break of nanocomposite films had a maximum value when the 1% of MTO was doped in PI, while the tensile strength decreased with increasing MTO content on the whole.
