Key Applications of 6FODA
Gas Separation Membranes: Serves as a building block for polyimides (e.g., 6FDA-6FODA) in membranes with high gas permeability and selectivity (e.g., CO₂/CH₄ up to 188.43), ideal for industrial gas purification due to tunable micropore structures.
Optoelectronics and Photonics: Used in transparent, colorless polyimides for flexible OLED displays and optical devices, where trifluoromethyl groups reduce π-π interactions to minimize light absorption and allow precise refractive index control (±4 × 10⁻⁴).
High-Performance Polymers and Composites: Incorporated into polyimides and polyamides for aerospace, military, and protective fabrics with low thermal conductivity (0.03 W/m·K), flame retardancy, and resistance to harsh environments.
Advanced Materials: Employed in covalent organic frameworks (COFs), nanocomposites, and coatings for electronics, energy storage, and biomedical applications, leveraging its stability and low dielectric properties
