A series of 4-phenylethnylphthalic anhydride (PEPA)-terminated oligoimides were prepared by co-oligomerizing isomeric dianhydrides, i.e., 2,3,3',4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (a-BPDA), 2,3,3',4'-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride (a-BTDA) or 2,3,3',4'-diphenylethertetracarboxylic dianhydride (a-ODPA), with diamines mixture of bis(4-aminophenoxy)dimethyl silane (APDS) and 2,2'-bis(trifluoromethyl) benzidine (TFDB). The effects of siloxane content and dianhydride structure on the rheological properties of these oligoimides and thermal stability of the corresponding cured polyimide resins were investigated. The results indicated that the introduction of the siloxane structure improved the melt processability of the oligoimides, while the thermal stability of the cured polyimide resins reduced. The oligoimide derived from a-ODPA revealed better melt processability and melt stability due to the existence of a flexible dianhydride structure. The oligoimide PIS-O10 derived from a-ODPA gave the lowest minimum melt viscosity of 0.09 Pa·s at 333 °C and showed the excellent melt stability at 260 °C for 2 h with the melt viscosity in the range of 0.69-1.63 Pa·s. It is also noted that the thermal stability of these resins can be further enhanced by postcuring at 400-450 °C, which is attributed to the almost complete chemical crosslinking of the phenyethynyl combined with oxidative crosslinking of siloxane. The PIS-T10 and PIS-O10 resins that were based on a-BTDA and a-ODPA, respectively, even showed a glass transition temperature over 550 °C after postcuring at 450 °C for 1 h.
