Redox-active polyimide-polyether multi-block copolymers were synthesized by polycondensation reaction of aromatic dianhydrides with α-ω-diamino poly(ethylene oxide). Polyimide- b -polyether block copolymers showed microphase separation between a hard-polyimide domain and a soft-polyether domain as o...
