Abstract: Polyimide, a class of high-performance polymers, is renowned for its exceptional thermal stability, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance. However, in the context of high-integration and high-frequency electronic packaging, polyimides face critical challenges including relatively high dielectric constants, inadequate thermal conductivity, and mechanical brittleness. Recent advances have focused on molecular design and composite engineering strategies to address these limitations. This review first summarizes the intrinsic properties of polyimides, followed by a systematic discussion of chemical synthesis, surface modification approaches, molecular design principles, and composite fabrication methods. We comprehensively examine both conventional polymerization synthetic routes and emerging techniques such as microwave-assisted thermal imidization and chemical vapor deposition. Special emphasis is placed on porous structure engineering via solid-template and liquid-template methods. Three key modification strategies are highlighted: (1) surface modifications for enhanced hydrophobicity, chemical stability, and tribological properties; (2) molecular design for optimized dielectric performance and thermal stability; and (3) composite engineering for developing high-thermal-conductivity materials with improved mechanical strength and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding capabilities. The dielectric constant of polyimide is reduced while chemical stability and wear resistance can be enhanced through the introduction of fluorine groups. Ultra-low dielectric constant and high-temperature resistance can be achieved by employing rigid monomers and porous structures. Furthermore, the incorporation of fillers such as graphene and boron nitride can endow the composite materials with high thermal conductivity, excellent EMI shielding efficiency, and improved mechanical properties. Finally, we discuss representative applications of polyimide and composites in electronic device packaging, EMI shielding, and thermal management systems, providing insights into future development directions.
