AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional polyimide films for graphite sheets using 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA) suffer from decreased mechanical properties, high manufacturing costs, and low graphitization efficiency due to their flexible structure and high cost.

Method used

A polyimide film comprising a combination of methylenedianiline (MDA), metaphenylenediamine (MPD), 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA), and paraphenylenediamine (PPD) as polymerization units, with controlled monomer ratios to enhance graphitization efficiency and reduce costs.

🎯Benefits of technology

The film achieves high-quality graphite sheets with improved mechanical properties, reduced costs, and efficient graphitization by controlling the polyimide structure through optimal monomer combinations, ensuring compatibility and productivity.
