The nano-filler was shown to accelerate the initial stage of cyclization, occurring at temperatures ranging up to 100–120 ◦C. A possible way of practical application of this effect was discussed.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>polymer-inorganic nanocomposites</kwd><kwd>polyimide</kwd><kwd>poly(amic acid)</kwd><kwd>ceria</kwd><kwd>cyclization</kwd><kwd>mechanical properties</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The authors acknowledge the help of L.A.
