Abstract

Disclosed is a process for production of a colored polyimide molded article including the steps of molding a polyamic acid solution composition containing a polyamic acid solution obtained from at least a tetracarboxylic acid component and a diamine component and a coloring precursor, or a polyimide solution composition containing a polyimide solution and a coloring precursor; and then thermally treating a molded product at 250° C. or higher.

Claims (12)

1. A process for producing a colored polyimide molded article, the process comprising:

(a) dipping a film obtained by casting

a polyamic composition comprising a polyamic acid solution and a coloring precursor in a poor solvent against the polyamic acid to fabricate a porous polyamic acid film, where the polyamic acid solution is obtained from at least one tetracarboxylic acid and a diamine;

and

(b) thermally treating the porous polyamic acid film at a temperature of from 350 to 500° C. to obtain the colored polyimide molded article, which is a colored polyimide porous membrane,

wherein

the coloring precursor is a polymer obtained from an acrylonitrile-comprising monomer, and

no carbon black is present in the polyamic composition the tetracarboxylic acid is at least one selected from the group consisting of a biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride and pyromellitic dianhydride; and the diamine is at least one selected from the group consisting of p-phenylenediamine diaminodiphenyl ether, and bis(aminophenoxy)benzene.

2. The process of claim 1 , wherein the polyamic composition is a suspension liquid or a transparent uniform solution.

3. The process of claim 1 , wherein the poor solvent is water or a water-containing mixed solvent.

4. The process of claim 1 , wherein the thermally treating (b) occurs in the air for a period of from 5 to 60 minutes in a state of fixing the molded product.

5. The process of claim 1 , wherein the coloring precursor is polyacrylonitrile.
