Study of the Mechanism and Rate of Bismaleimide Cure by Remote in-Situ Real Time Fiber Optic Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

Abstract: An investigation was carried out on the mechanism and kinetics of cure of a two-component bismaleimide formulation, composed of 4,4′-methylenebis[maleimidobenzene] and 2,2′-diallylbisphenol A. In-situ real time study of the progress of reaction was conducted in the temperature range from 140 to 250°C using remote fiber optic near-infrared spectroscopy. The obtained signal was clean, free of noise, and remarkably reproducible. The principal reaction observed was an alternating copolymerization involving maleimi… Show more

“…The bismaleimide (BMI) formulation was also composed of equimolar amounts of components A and B, which were mixed at 125°C and stirred until a homogeneous solution was obtained. Further details of the sample preparation procedures can be found elsewhere [22,23]. Upon mixing all formulations were tested under isothermal conditions at a series of selected temperatures in thermal and microwave fields.…”

“…The mechanism and kinetics of cure of a twocomponent BMI formulation have been described in a recent communication from our group [22] and only the salient features are highlighted below. The principal reaction is an alternating copolymerization involving maleimide and allyl double bonds.…”

“…R is the gas constant (8.314 J/mol/K) and T is the absolute temperature. The kinetic parameters of the curing reaction, with special reference to E a, can be calculated using different computational methods [8][9][10][11]. E a is determined by the isoconversional methods using the logarithmic form of the kinetic equation (2):…”

“…It has been observed that the principal reaction occurring in this blend is an alternating copolymerisation between the two different monomers ( Figure 6), with homopolymerisation of the BMI units only occurring in the initial stages of the reaction at higher temperatures (i.e. above 200°C) [27]. This is evidenced by the occurrence of an almost 1:1 consumption ratio between characteristic IR signals for both BMI and DABA allyl groups.…”
