Popis: The main challenge to developing future display substrates is to synthesize flexible substrate materials that also have excellent optical and thermal properties, and low thermal expansion number. In this study, a novel trifluoromethylated asymmetric aromatic diamine, 4-[[4-(4-amino-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenyl]sulfonyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)]benzenamine (AFPSFB), was synthesized through nucleophilic substitution. Conventional two-step polycondensation of AFPSFB with commercially available tetracarboxylic dianhydrides enabled the fabrication of fully or semi-aromatic polyimides (PIs). The resulting PIs were highly soluble in polar aprotic solvents with good optical and thermal properties. Next, polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane containing an amine group (NH2-POSS) was reacted with the resulting soluble PI. All the PI-POSS nanohybrids displayed excellent optical properties, including high transparency (>91% at 400 nm), low refractive index (
