Abstract

The surface properties of polyimide can be changed without altering the bulk properties. The surface layer (around 200 Å) of fully cured PMDA-ODA polyimide is chemically modified to polyamic acid which is subsequently imidized at 230 °C for 30 min to give an unordered polyimide surface. This unordered layer seems amorphous since it swells well in NMP. The modified surfaces are analyzed by surface sensitive techniques such as contact angle measurement, XPS, ISS, and external reflectance infrared (ERIR) spectroscopy. Adhesion of polyimides and chromium on the amorphous polyimides is greatly enhanced. Interdiffusion and subsequent mechanical interlocking are the major contributions to the polyimide-polyimide adhesion.
