Abstract: 

In the temperature range 4.2-350 K for the first time was studied the temperature dependence of the dynamic Young's modulus and acoustic absorption of the polyimide film PMA (Kapton). Two low-temperature relaxation processes on the temperature dependences of the acoustic properties of the PMDA/ODA polyimide are recorded: <$E delta>-relaxation at 45 K and β-relaxation at 185 K. A microscopic interpretation of the mechanisms is responsible for the occurrence of <$E delta> and β relaxation in the PMDA/ODA polyimide is proposed. Estimates of the activation energy for these relaxation processes are obtained: δ-relaxation - 0.05 eV, β-relaxation - 0.7 eV.
