Ion Exchange Reaction in a Thin Film of Polyimide
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
Relationship between the degree of imide-ring-condensation and the absorbed quantity of sodium ion was studied in a polyimide film of 100nm thick immersed in an alcoholic solvent containing sodium ion in order to elucidate a mechanism of incorporation of ionic species. Absorption and depth-profile of sodium ion in a film were quantitatively determined by chemical analysis and secondary ion mass spectroscopy. Concentration of sodium ion in a thin film by two orders of magnitude was observed, and distribution of sodium ion in a thin film was found to be uniform, which cannot be accounted for by any kinds of previous models based on diffusion, permeation, or solvation. Instead, chemical ion-exchange model is proposed and is found to satisfactorily explain the experimental results.
