Polyimides are ranked among the most heat-resistant polymers and are widely used in high temperature plastics, adhesives, dielectrics, photoresistors, nonlinear optical materials, membrane materials for gasseparation, and Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films, among others. While there is a variety of high temperature stable polyimides, there is a growing demand for utilizing these materials at higher temperatures in oxidizing and aggressive environments. Therefore, we sought to use oxidation-resistant materials to enhance properties of the polyimide composition maintaining polyimide weights and processing advantages. In this paper we introduced results of utilizing inorganic nanostructured silicon carbide particles to produce an inorganic particle filled polyimide materials.
