Abstract
Abstract Rigid foamed polymethacrylimide synthetic resin containing from 0.1 to 10 percent by weight of electrically conductive particles such as conductive carbon black exhibit improved properties when used in rapidly flowing streams of gases, are particularly suitable for use as a core material in laminates for aircraft construction, and are prepared by heating a copolymer of methacrylic acid and methyacrylonitrile containing a blowing agent and conductive particles.
