Key Applications of BPDA
Electronics and Microelectronics: Employed in polyimide resins for super-engineering plastics in mobile phones, copying machines, and high-frequency components like 5G signal transmitters; also used in flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs) to prevent delamination due to matched CTE with copper, and in advanced semiconductor packaging for reliability under high temperatures.
Fibers and Textiles: Applied in the synthesis of high molecular weight aromatic polyamide fibers with high strength, modulus, temperature resistance, and radiation resistance.
Nanocomposites and Advanced Materials: Incorporated into polyimide/organic clay nanocomposites for superior tensile and thermal properties, hybrid nanocomposite films, and hyper-cross-linked polymers for dye wastewater purification.
