Abstract

[Objective]In order to reduce the curing temperature of polyimide(PI)system and to ensure its reaction controllability and storage stability.[Methods]This study synthesized a biomass-derived thymine-based photobase generator,thymine-1-acetic acid diazabicyclononene salt(TY-DBN),and applied it to cure polyamic acid resin coatings.[Results]TY-DBN released the superbase 1,5-diazabicyclo[4. 3. 0]-5-nonene(DBN)under UV irradiation. The curing kinetics demonstratedthat the optimal curing temperature decreased from 197. 00 ℃ to 60. 11 ℃,the apparent activation energy was reduced by two orders of magnitude(from 4. 49×104 J/mol to 6. 57×102 J/mol), and the reaction order decreased from 0. 93 to 0. 28. Normalized infrared spectroscopy confirmed a significantincrease in the imidization degree of the coating resin after low-temperature curing.[Conclusion]This study significantly improved the thermal curing performance of polyamic acid resin,providing a research strategy for developing low-temperature curable polyimide coating.
