Introduction. Poly (p-phenylene pyromelliteimide)(PPPI) has been receiving much attention1-3 because of the predicted outstanding properties, especially the highest modulus over 500 GPa. 4 However, PPPI exhibits neither solubility nor meltability, and the intractability derived from the rigid structure makes it inaccessible for processing by conventional techniques. PPPI has been usually prepared by a two-step procedure including the synthesis of a soluble poly (amic acid) precursor and the following imidization. 5, 6 The difficulty of the orientation of poly (amic acid) precursor and the rapid crystallization during imidization prevent to control the morphology of PPPI.We have been studying the morphology control of rigid polymers during solution polymerization and successfully prepared the whiskers and the microspheres of aromatic polyesters7-13 and polythioester14 by the polymerization in poor solvents. They are formed by the phase separation of oligomers including crystallization and liquid-liquid phase. These studies reveal that the self-assembling polymerization by means of the reaction-induced crystallization of oligomers is a valuable method for the morphology control of intractable polymers.
