The key to this success was the development of an efficient procedure leading highly pure dimethylamino monomer. Polyimides derived from 1,3-di(p-dimethylaminobenzyl)-inmidazolidine-2-thion and commercial dianhydrides exhibited excellent solubility in various polar solvents. These polymers showed glass transition temperatures between 290-360degreesC, and initial decomposition temperature 490-485 degreesC and 10% mass loss ranging from 505-575degreesC in air.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMechanical-PropertiesDianhydridePrecursorArticle50313914610.1007/s00289-003-0153-02-s2.0-0037644892N/AWOS:000183553100003Q2
