Abstract
Poly (disulphido-imides) were prepared by Diels-Alder (DA) reaction of furfuryl-disulphide (FDS) with various bismaleimides. The DA reaction was carried out in xylene as solvent, as well as in bulk, followed by aromatization of terrahydrophthalimide intermediates in the presence of acetic anhydride. All the poly (disulphido-imide)s were characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectral data and thermogravimetry. The poly (disulphido-imide)s exhibit moderate thermal stability. Preliminary test for glass reinforcement of the poly (disulphido-imide) indicate that laminates with good mechanical strength can be obtained.
