Wholly aromatic polyimide (PI) films with good solution processability, light colors, good optical transparency, high storage modulus, and improved heat resistance were prepared and characterized. For this purpose, a multi-component copolymerization methodology was performed from a fluoro-containing dianhydride, 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA), a rigid dianhydride, 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), and a fluoro-containing diamine, 2,2′-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,4′-bis [4-(4-amino-3-methyl)benzamide]biphenyl (MABTFMB). One homopolymer, FPI-1 (6FDA-MABTFMB), and five copolymers, FPI-2~FPI-6, containing the BPDA units from 10 mol% to 50 mol% in the dianhydride moieties, were prepared, respectively. The derived PI resins showed good solubility in the polar aprotic solvents, such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). The flexible PI films obtained by the solution casting procedure showed good optical properties with the transmittances higher than 74.0% at the wavelength of 450 nm. The PI films exhibited excellent thermal properties, including 5% weight loss temperatures (T5%) over 510 °C, together with glass transition temperatures (Tg) over 350.0 °C according to the peak temperatures of the loss modulus in dynamical mechanical analysis (DMA) measurements. The FPI-6 film also showed the lowest linear coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) value of 23.4 × 10−6/K from 50 to 250 °C according to the thermomechanical analysis (TMA) measurements, which was obviously lower than that of FPI-1 (CTE = 30.6 × 10−6/K).
