The starting material compositions of the diamine and acidic dianhydride are shown in Table 1 (units are molar ratios). The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes under a nitrogen atmosphere, and then heated in an oil bath and reacted at 150°C for 1 hour. 3 g of 2,6-lutidine was added as a dehydration catalyst, and the reaction was further carried out at 190°C for 4 hours. After the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, it was diluted with tetrahydrofuran, and isopropanol was added dropwise to precipitate a solid. The obtained solid was filtered, washed, and vacuum-dried at 60°C to obtain a polyimide resin.

The number-average molecular weight (Mn) and weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the polyimide resin were measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using a Tosoh HLC-8420GPC with tetrahydrofuran as the eluent. A Tosoh TSKgel SuperMultiporeHZ-H column was used. Polystyrene (Tosoh PStQuick C and PStQuick D) was used as the standard material.

Measurements were performed on 10 test specimens, and the average value of the elongation at break was calculated.
[0185] (Evaluation of solvent solubility) A solution was prepared by dissolving 4 g of polyimide resin in 16 g of γ-butyrolactone. The solution was allowed to stand at 25°C for 3 hours to stabilize its temperature. While measuring the viscosity of the solution using a viscometer (TV-25 viscometer, cone-plate type, manufactured by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd.), γ-butyrolactone was further added to the solution and diluted until the viscosity reached 2000 ± 200 mPa·s to obtain a solution for solubility evaluation. The solution for solubility evaluation was filtered under pressure with nitrogen gas for 30 minutes using a 3M Lab Scale Filter Disc DP Series (NM04711 BF100) (material: polypropylene, filtration accuracy: 10.0 μm) as a filter. The presence or absence of residue on the filter after filtration was visually confirmed, and the solvent solubility of the polyimide resin was evaluated according to the following criteria. A: No residue was found. B: Residue was found.
