Highly Soluble Fluorinated Polyimides Synthesized with Hydrothermal Process towards Sustainable Green Technology

Polyimides, a widely used engineering plastic, require use of large amounts of toxic and hazardous organic solvents which threaten our daily lives, calling for new and easy synthetic methods for sustainable environmentally friendly development. In this paper, highly soluble fluorinated polyimides ba...
