A novel dianhydride, trans-1,2-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy)cyclohexane dianhydride (1,2-CHDPA), was prepared through aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction of 4-nitrophthalonitrile with trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diol followed by hydrolysis and dehydration. A series of polyimides (PIs) were synthesized from one-step polycondensation of 1,2-CHDPA with several aromatic diamines, such as 2,20-bis(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-4,40-diamine (TFDB), bis(4-amino-2-trifluoromethylphenyl)ether (TFODA), 4,40-diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA), 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene (TPEQ), 4,40-(1,3-phenylenedioxy)dianiline (TPER), 2,20-bis[4-(3-aminodiphenoxy)

phenyl]sulfone (m-BAPS), and 2,20-bis[4-(4-amino-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenyl]sulfone (6F-BAPS). The glass transition temperatures (Tgs) of the polymers were higher than 1988C, and the 5% weight loss temperatures (Td5%s) were in the range of 424–4458C in nitrogen and 415–4308C in air, respectively. All the PIs were endowed with high solubility in common organic solvents and could be cast into tough and flexible films, which exhibited good mechanical properties with tensile strengths of 76–105 MPa, elongations at break of 4.7–7.6%, and tensile moduli of 1.9–2.6 GPa. In particular, the PI films showed excellent optical transparency in the visible region with the cut-off wavelengths of 369–375 nm owing to the introduction of trans-1,2-cyclohexane moiety into the main chain.
