초록

The imidization effect of a poly (amic acid) dope solution on membrane formation has been investigated. Poly (amic acid) solution in S-methyl-2-pyrrolidione hs been thermally imidized at $120^{\circ}C$ with different curing time and its degree of imidization was determined by infrared spectroscopy. The solution properties have been studied as a function of concentration and curing time by dynamic light scattering. The quality of a solvent was changed from good to poor with increasing imidization of poly(amic acid).The reduced polymer-solvent interaction diminishes the membrane formation time. The morphology of a membrane was able to be controlled by the characteristics of dope solution.
