A novel ultraviolet irradiation technique was developed to synthesize manga
nese dioxide-polyimide hybrids. The hybrids were characterized by FTIR, tra
nsmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), an
d X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was found that the MnO2 particles were of nan
ometric scale and well dispersed in the MnO2/polyimide hybrids prepared by
this method. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
