This document discusses aromatic polyimides, including their formation from reactions between pyromellitic dianhydride and diamines, their heat resistant and mechanical properties, and applications. Polyimides have excellent heat resistance due to their high thermoxidative stability and modulus of elasticity. They are used as insulators in electronics and aerospace applications like insulation and space suits due to their flexibility, strength, and stability from -269 to 400°C. The document also summarizes recent research partially carbonizing aromatic polyimide films to increase their electrical conductivity for applications.
