The present invention relates to a polyimide adhesive composition having a polyimide derived from an aromatic dianhydride and a diamine component, where the diamine component is preferably about 50 to 90 mole % of an aliphatic diamine and about 10 to 50 mole % of an aromatic diamine. In one embodiment, the aliphatic diamine has the structural formula H2N—R—NH2 wherein R is hydrocarbon from C4 to C16 and the polyimide adhesive has a glass transition temperature in the range of from 150° C. to 200° C.
