AbstractA series of copolyimides were prepared by thermal imidization of poly(amic acid)s (PAAs) derived from 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (s-BPDA), 2,3′,3,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (a-BPDA), p-phenylenediamine (PDA) and 4,4′-oxydialinine (4,4′-ODA) commonly used for the production of commercial polyimides. The flexible copolyimide films were obtained from that the molar ratio of s-BPDA, a-BPDA, PDA and 4,4′-ODA was 9:1:8:2 (Co-PIs-3), 8:2:9:1 (Co-PIs-5) and 8:2:8:2 (Co-PIs-6). These obtained copolyimide films were characterized by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), wide angle X-ray (WAXD), Thermogravimetric (TG), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMA), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and mechanical properties measurement. The results showed that three copolyimides remained semi-crystalline and exhibited high glass transition temperature (Tg), high thermal stability, great ultimate tensile strength and low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). The Co-PIs-5 had lower crystallinity, lower CTE, greater elongation at break, higher Tg and thermal stability and the greater dense extent, compared with Co-PIs-3 and Co-PIs-6. Structure and property relations of the prepared polyimides were also briefly discussed. The results revealed that the copolymerization of s-BPDA/PDA with a small number of 4,4′-ODA/a-BPDA was a useful means for enhancing flexibility without sacrificing low CTE.

Optical interferometry is used to study the lubrication of porous bearings. The results suggest that thermal expansion in each metal particle causes it to act as a miniature tapered land bearing. An approximate analysis gives an order of magnitude for the tilt. All the evidence is against the existence of a continuous oil film round the bearing when used normally, which hitherto is the accepted model for the operation of these bearings. Micro-recirculation of the oil was observed and the importance of running-in is discussed.
