However, the high glass transition temperature and low melt strength of PIs present significant challenges, leading to a narrow foaming window, poor cell formation, and low expansion ratios. To address these limitations, we developed a strategy that enhances melt strength and broadens the foaming process window by constructing a controllably slightly cross-linked network in polyimides via precise molecular weight modulation of a maleic anhydride-terminated network precursor. By designing and synthesizing this precursor with molecular weight regulated by feeding ratios, and subsequently inducing thermal crosslinking under hot-pressing, we systematically regulated the molecular weight between cross-link points (<i>M</i><sub>c</sub>) and obtained slightly cross-linked materials. This approach enabled the successful production of a series of PI foams via sCO<sub>2</sub> foaming process, which exhibit a broad foaming window, a homogeneous cell structure, and a significantly enhanced expansion ratio (10.51)—representing a 6.11-fold increase over the linear PI.

By incorporating polyacrylic acid (PAA), we construct a dynamic supramolecular network that suppresses the coffee-ring effect during ultrasonic spray-coating by increasing solution viscosity and rationally modulating the kinetic balance between solvent evaporation and solute diffusion.
