Abstract

A polyimide resin composition containing a polyimide resin (A) and a nanocarbon material (B), wherein the polyimide resin (A) contains a repeating structural unit represented by the following formula (1) and a repeating structural unit represented by the following formula (2), and a content ratio of the repeating structural unit of the formula (1) with respect to the total of the repeating structural unit of the formula (1) and the repeating structural unit of the formula (2) is 20 to 70 mol %: wherein R 1 represents a divalent group having from 6 to 22 carbon atoms containing at least one alicyclic hydrocarbon structure; R 2 represents a divalent chain aliphatic group having from 5 to 16 carbon atoms; and X 1 and X 2 each independently represent a tetravalent group having from 6 to 22 carbon atoms containing at least one aromatic group.
