Abstract

A convenient tape-casting method was applied to prepare high performance aromatic polyamide (PA) films based on Technora®. During the polycondensation, CaO was introduced to improve the solubility of the PA resin, and the generated halides were totally removed from the film via a simple water bath, without leaving any defects in PA films. The factors of processing temperature and immersion time had been systematically investigated, and the experimental results demonstrated that both of them had impressive impacts on aggregation state and comprehensive properties of the PA film. It was suggested that immersion in water for more than 1 min and baking below 300 °C for 10 min were the optimal conditions for the thermal, tensile, tear, and optical properties to be in the best equilibrium. The resultant PA films integrated outstanding film-forming ability and excellent general performance, especially the tensile property and tear resistance.
