A series of colorless copolyimide films with high thermal stability and good solubility are synthesized from (trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TFMB) with different 1,2,4,5-cyclohexanetetracarboxylic dianhydride (HPMDA) to 2,2-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)-hexafluoropropane (6FDA) dianhydride mole ratios through one-pot solution polycondensation. These copolyimide films exhibit excellent optical transparency ( T  400 &gt; 90% and λ  0 ~305-333 nm) with a thickness of 15 μm and good solubility in most organic solvents. The excellent optical properties are mainly attributed to the low inter- and intra-molecular charge transfer interactions due to the alicyclic structure and the strong electronegative CF 3 groups. The glass transition temperature increases from 332 to 352 °C with increasing HPMDA content in the copolymers, while the thermal decomposition temperature is improved with increasing 6FDA content. These results indicate that the copolyimide films can be successfully utilized in the development of novel heat-resistant plastic substrates for the optoelectronic engineering applications.
