Abstract

A method for producing a polyimide film comprises the steps of: preparing a polar organic solvent solution of a polyimide precursor obtained by mixing a tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride compound and a diamine compound; adding a dehydrating agent and an imidization catalyst to the polar organic solvent solution so as to prepare a resin solution composition; and drying the resin solution composition by heating so as to imidize the resin solution composition after flowing the resin solution composition onto a support in a casting manner, wherein diethyl pyridine is used as the imidization catalyst. According to the production method, it is possible to obtain a polyimide film which is highly productive and is excellent in the film quality such as the mechanical property, the adhesive strength, and the like.

Claims (10)

1. A method for producing a polyimide film, comprising the steps of:

preparing a polar organic solvent solution of a polyimide precursor obtained by mixing a tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride compound and a diamine compound;

adding a dehydrating agent and an imidization catalyst to the polar organic solvent solution so as to prepare a resin solution composition; and

drying the resin solution composition by heating so as to imidize the resin solution composition after flowing the resin solution composition onto a support in a casting manner, wherein diethyl pyridine is used as the imidization catalyst.

2. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein 3,5-diethyl pyridine is used as the imidization catalyst.

3. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the polyimide precursor includes pyromellitic acid dianhydride and 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether as main components.

4. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the dehydrating agent and the imidization catalyst are added at the same time.

5. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the dehydrating agent is used so that a ratio of the dehydrating agent with respect to amide acid is 1 to 5 molar equivalence.

6. The method as set forth claim 1 , wherein the imidization catalyst is used so that a ratio of the imidization catalyst with respect to amide acid is 0.2 to 1.5 molar equivalence.

7. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the dehydrating agent and the imidization catalyst are used so that a molar ratio thereof is 1:0.15 to 1:0.75.
