ABSTRACTThe effect of processing on the development of internal stresses in spin coated polyimide films was investigated. The internal stresses are a result of the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch between the polymer and the substrate. Birefringence and CTE were used to characterize the in-plane molecular orientation. In-plane orientation was shown to be sensitive to processing conditions. Increasing the spin speed results in higher in-plane orientation as observed by an increase in birefringence and a corresponding decrease in CTE. Heating rate during cure was observed to have a significant effect on in-plane orientation. Faster heating rates during cure resulted in a lower birefringence. The lower birefringence is attributed to relaxation effects that can occur during a rapid cure. The decrease in orientation was accompanied by an increase in internal stress.

Polarized infrared microscopy has been used for forensic purposes to differentiate among polymer fibers. Dichroism can be used to compare and discriminate between different polyester fibers, including those composed of polyethylene terephthalate that are frequently encountered during criminal casework. In the fiber manufacturering process, fibers are drawn to develop molecular orientation and crystallinity. Macromolecular chains are oriented with respect to the long axis of the fiber. It is desirable to determine the relationship between the molecular orientation and stretching properties. This is particularly useful on a single fiber basis. Polarized spectroscopic differences observed from a single fiber are proposed to reveal the extent of molecular orientation within that single fiber. In the work presented, we compared the dichroic ratio between unstretched and stretched polyester fibers, and the transition point between the two forms of the same fiber. These techniques were applied to different polyester fibers. A fiber stretching device was fabricated for use on the instrument (IRμs, Spectra-Tech) stage. Tension was applied with a micrometer screw until a “neck” was produced in the stretched fiber. Spectra were obtained from an area of 24×48 μm. A wire-grid polarizer was used between the source and the sample.
