A series of novel poly(imide-siloxane)s (PIS) were synthesized by the grafting of amine terminated soluble imides to the siloxane backbone. The amine terminated imides were synthesized by choosing suitable anhydrides and amines to get the imides that are soluble in polar and non-polar solvents. The...
