A series of eight poly(aminobismaleimide)s containing aromatic units have been synthesized from a one-step nucleophilic addition reaction between diamine and bismaleimide, without exogeneous solvent, to provide encapsulant withstanding high temperature suitable for power electronics. To have a homogeneous medium at room temperature, the solid aromatic diamines are first mixed with different liquid aliphatic ones, and then mixed with bismaleimide. The syntheses were then carried out at 175 8C for 15 min. Thus, according to their composition, these obtained thermosetting resins are characterized by a relaxation temperature between 98 and 190 8C and a coefficient of thermal expansion between 20 and 150 ppm/K. All material surfaces are hydrophobic and their moisture uptake is lower than 2-3 wt %. Finally, as expected, the substitution of a part of the aliphatic diamine by an aromatic one improves the thermal stability under air atmosphere of the resulting materials (T d 5 280-300 8C increased to T d 5 315-340 8C). Their use as power module encapsulant can therefore be considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
