Coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) along the main chain direction in the ordered domain of aromatic and semi-aliphatic polyimide (PI) films (alpha(c)) were determined in order to investigate the thermal expansion behaviors of self-standing PI films in the direction parallel to the film plane. Variable temperature wide-angle X-ray diffraction (VT-WAXD) measurements were performed using a synchrotron radiation facility in the temperature range of 60-360 degrees C. All the PI films showed characteristic WAXD profiles to liquid-crystalline-like ordered domain overlapped with broad and intense amorphous halos, and diffraction peaks corresponding to the repeating unit along the main chain (c-axis) and the inter-chain ordering (Ch-pack) were clearly resolved. The alpha(c)s along the c-axis of PIs having rigid-rod structure are negative, whereas those for PIs containing bent linkages, such as ether (-O-) or methylene (-CH2-), in the main chains are large and positive. The alpha(c) values coincide well with the in-plane CTEs of the PI films estimated by thermal mechanical analysis (TMA). This indicates that the negative in-plane CTEs observed for the rigid-rod PI films originates from the negative alpha(c) in the ordered domain, which originates from the extended main chains with appreciable orientation in the film plane.
