Abstract
Abstract A method for making polyimide polymers is provided by effecting reaction between an aliphatically unsaturated imide, such as maleimide, formaldehyde, and an organic polyamine, for example trimethylene bis(4-aminobenzoate), for example in refluxing ethanol. The polyimides produced by the simple one-step method are pure, and exhibit superior toughness, and reduced shrinkage upon cure by heating. The new product are useful as molding compounds, laminating resins, and the like, being especially suitable for airplane parts, advanced composites, high performance adhesives and printed circuit boards.
