Photo-reaction of Polyimide and Practical Application for Photo Sensitive Polyimide

Liquid Crystal Alignment with a Photo-Crosslinkable and Solvent-Soluble Polyimide Film

Photo-Induced Vertical Alignment of Liquid Crystals via In Situ Polymerization Initiated by Polyimide Containing Benzophenone

Vertical alignment of liquid crystal (LC) was achieved in an easy and effective way: in situ photopolymerization of dodecyl acrylate (DA) monomers initiated by polyimide based on 3,3′,4,4′-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride and 3,3′-dimethyl-4,4′-diaminodiphenyl methane (BTDA-DMMDA PI). The alignment behavior and alignment stabilities were characterized by a polarizing optical microscope (...

Application of Photosensitive Polyimide: Mask Saving Process for Buffer Coating

Issues in the LSI polyimide buffer coating process which uses photosensitive polyimide also as a mask of passivation film etching are reviewed. Change of lithography wave length from g-line to i-line causes the difficulty in the polyimide patterning. However, today's improved polymers, both ester type and ionic type, have enough ability to open 10 um windows. Dry etching condition must be adjus...

Photo corrosion of titania nanotubes within water splitting reaction

Titania nanotubes (TNT) prepared by anodization of Ti foils were used for water splitting in a standalone cell. The concentration polarization between the anode side (1M NaOH) and cathode side (0.5 M H2SO4) ensured that the water splitting reaction could take place with no external bias and separate H2 and O2 evolution could be achieved. The destructi...
