Synthesis and property evaluations of highly filled polyimide composites under thermal cycling conditions from -190 °C to +200 °C

Abstract

This paper presents data on the synthesis of composites based on polyimide and modified tungsten (IV) oxide (WO₂). The resulting, highly filled, polyimide/WO₂ composites were investigated by electron microscopy and thermal analysis in a gas environment of oxygen and argon. The maximum content of modified WO₂, in the studied composites, was 60 wt%. The introduction of WO₂ increases the thermal stability of the composites
