It is well known that by using NaOH solution it is possible to completely reverse the reaction which - through Poly-Amic Acid (PAA) results in formation of Fully Imidized Polyimide - down to initial reagents , i.e. diamine and dianhydride.

The question is how to CONTROLLABLY revert this reaction - back to formation of PAA - SO THAT the destruction (partial destruction) of Polyimide to proceed uniformely - i.e. the thus obtained PAA to have the same molecular weight as before destruction?

In other words: just "to open" the Imide cycles.
