In this work, a triarylimidazole-containing diamine 2-(4-methylphenyl)-4,5-bis(4-(4-amino-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenyl)imidazole (MPBAI) was firstly synthesized and polymerized with 1,2,3,4-cyclobutanetetracarboxylic dianhydride (CBDA) to prepare transparent polyimide (PI) films by means of thermal imidization. Then, inorganic nanoparticles including silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3) and silicon nitride (Si3N4) were sep. introduced into the PI(MPBAI-CBDA) with different mass fractions of 0.02%, 0.10%, 0.50% and 2.50% to obtain three series of PI nanocomposite films. All these films were close to colorless and transparent, although the light transmittance showed a downward trend due to the introduction of nanoparticles. Moreover, as the content of inorganic nanoparticles increased, the fluorescence intensities of these films were increased. Comparatively, the improvement effect of nano-SiO2 was the most obvious. When the content of SiO2 was 2.50%, the maximum intensity of the fluorescence absorption peak was increased by 9.6 times, and the absolute fluorescence quantum yield reached 17.2%, about 5.2 times that of the original PI film. Moreover, the maximum absorption peak produced a red shift of 85 nm due to the addition of 2.50% Si3N4, which was probably caused by the weakening of fluorescence quenching effect and high permittivity. The nanocomposites exhibited high glass transition temperatures of around 300°C and excellent thermal stabilities. The surface hydrophobicity was changed by adjusting the mass and type of nanoparticles. Thus, this work provided a simple way to improve the photoluminescence effect by introducing the nanoparticles. The functional films will be expected to be applied in some optical applications.
