The present invention discloses a hydrophobic
thermoplastic polyimide resin and a preparation method thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, mixing a dianhydride
monomer with a polar
solvent, adding a
diamine monomer, stirring, and obtaining a
polyamic acid solution; S2, adding an
organic base and a dehydrating agent to the
polyamic acid solution, heating, stirring, adding the reaction solution to an
alcohol solvent to precipitate a precipitate, collecting the precipitate, washing, and
drying to obtain a hydrophobic
thermoplastic polyimide resin. By introducing a fluorinated
alkyl group, the hydrophobicity and various properties of the
thermoplastic polyimide resin are effectively improved; relative to the existing method of
coating a hydrophobic
coating on the surface of polyimide or constructing a micro-nano structure, the technical solution of the present invention avoids the reduction of structural strength caused by
doping, and while improving the hydrophobicity of the polyimide, a longer hydrophobic period can be maintained. By introducing a long-chain fluorinated
alkane and introducing a large number of
fluorine atoms, the
water contact angle can reach more than 120°, showing excellent hydrophobicity.
