Abstract

The morphological, mechanical, and thermal properties of polyimine films were investigated under different reaction conditions. Polyimines with Young's modulus of 0.03–2.04 GPa could be obtained from the same monomer combinations. Our study shows that polyimine properties are determined by the combined effect of solvent choice and polymerization rate.
