2025-09-10
HEPES (4-hydroxyethylpiperazine ethanesulfonic acid) sodium salt, as a widely used buffering agent, is known for its buffering ability in the pH range of 6.8 to 8.2. In recent years, with the advancement of technology, the application field of HEPES Na has far exceeded the traditional biomedical field, especially in materials science, showing great potential in improving the storage stability of polyamide acid (PAA) systems.

Challenges and Solutions in Polyamide Acid Compounds
Polyamide acid, as a key precursor for preparing high-performance polyimide (PI) materials, faces a common problem in its production process: the viscosity of the solution changes over time. This change is mainly caused by complex chemical reactions in the solvent, including but not limited to hydrolysis, cross-linking, and isomerization processes. For this reason, a patent has proposed an innovative method - by adding specific pH regulators and stabilizers to solve this problem.
The role of HEPES Na in improving the stability of PAA system
1. PH regulation
The stability of polyamic acid is highly sensitive to the pH of the system. Both acidic and alkaline environments can accelerate its hydrolysis or cyclization dehydration reaction. HEPES Na can effectively stabilize the pH of the system in the neutral alkaline region, inhibiting hydrolysis and cross-linking reactions.
2. Improve the long-term storage stability of the solution
Experiments have shown that after adding an appropriate amount of HEPES Na, the viscosity change of polyamide acid solution at room temperature or low temperature storage is significantly reduced, which can effectively extend the shelf life and ensure batch consistency.
3. The compatibility is good. During the subsequent high-temperature imidization process, HEPES Na can be evaporated with the solvent or decomposed and removed at high temperatures, and will not remain in the polyimide material, without affecting its electrical, thermal, or mechanical properties.
Application examples and prospects
In practical applications, polyamide acid compositions containing HEPES Na have been proven to significantly extend storage life at room or low temperatures, while ensuring consistency between batches. This is particularly important for the manufacturing of electronic grade polyimide films, as any small quality fluctuations may affect the performance of the product. In addition, with the development of flexible display technology and the increasing demand for high-performance composite materials in the aerospace industry, HEPES Na is becoming an indispensable part of these cutting-edge technologies due to its excellent stability and compatibility.
