Patent ID: 6861497

Claim:
A polyimide of the formula: wherein CG1 and CG2 are independently selected from the group consisting of an electron-accepting group and a electron-donating group, and x is an integer from about 3 to about 3000; ODAH is any known dianhydride residue and ODAM is any known diamine residue, and ODAH and ODAM are selected to fine-tune properties of said polyimide; wherein m, n, o, and p cumulatively add to 1.0; the sum of m and n is about 0.05 to about 1.0, the sum of o and p is about 0 to about 0.95, the sum of m and o is about 0.5 and the sum of n and p is about 0.5; and said polyimide having an electrical resistivity within the range of from 10 6 to 10 16 Ohm-centimeters, said polyimide's electrical resistivity being adjustable within said range of from 10 6 to 10 16 Ohm-centimeters.
