Novel Bismaleimide–Epoxy Resin System: II

Abstract

Novel diamines, namely N,N′-bis[1-(2-methyl-4-aminophenyl)ethanonyl]-1,4- benzenediamine (BMAED 1) and N,N′-bis[1-(4-methyl-3-animophenyl)ethanonyl]-1,4-benzenediamine (BMAED 2), have been prepared and reacted with various bismaleimides (BM) at a BM:diamine ratio of 1:2. The resulting oligoimides have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectral studies and the number average molecular weight (M _n) estimated by non-aqueous conductometric titration and thermogravimetry. Some of the oligomides have been modified by addition (i.e. curing reaction) of epoxy resin, namely the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A, and studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The glass- and carbon-reinforced composites have also been prepared and characterized by their mechanical properties.
