Abstract

The present work is focused on the synthesis of a series of fully aliphatic polyimides and the incorporation of adamantane moieties and siloxane groups to them and studies the deviation in the basic traits of the fully aliphatic polyimides. In this work, we wish to discuss how adamantyl group and siloxane moieties influence the basic properties of aliphatic polyimides (APIs), by synthesizing various fully aliphatic polyimides and polyimidesiloxanes (APISiO).
