    1) PMDA is reacted with water to form a diacid endgroup and reactive anhydride terminal. Only half of the available anhydride groups are reacted to form the endgroup. 2) The diacid endgroup is then reacted with 4,4'-oxydianiline to form another endgroup containing a terminal amine. 3) The terminal amine endgroup is then reacted with BPDA to further extend the polymer chain. Excess oxydianiline and additional BPDA additions continue growing the polymer chain.

    In addition to what is shown in this drawing:


    1. We can still form a PI copolymer with a high molecular weight without using water as an end capping
    agent. We are currently evaluating that copolymer.
    2. There are other end capping agents besides water that can be used.
