An intimate polyimide blend, prepared by chemical conversion, containing from 25 to 50 weight % of a first polyimide derived from 90 to 100 mole % of 3,3', 4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride, 0 to 10 mole % of pyromellitic dianhydride and p-phenylenediamine and from 50 to 75 weight % of a second polyimide derived from pyromellitic dianhydride, from 20 to 50 mole % of p-phenylenediamine and from 50 to 80 mole % of 4,4'-diaminodiphenylether. The polyimide blend provides blister free films having high modulus and low thermal expansion coefficients for use in electronics applications.

High modulus polyimide blend

An aromatic polyimide laminate having a thickness of at least 50 microns composed of multiple aromatic polyimide film layers containing from 400 to 10,000 ppm of tin, superimposed on and directly bonded to each other without using an adhesive. The polyimide laminates can be used in various thick film applications such as punched gaskets and washers, speaker coils, shim stock, circuit boards and machined parts.
