Thermal behavior of 4-maleimidophenyl glycidyl ether resins

Blends Based on Copolymers of Methyl Methacrylate with Phenyl Maleimide and Tribromophenyl Maleimide

“…From the curve fits shown, reactivity ratios were estimated for both copolymer families. For MMA-PMI copolymers, values of r PMI ) 0.14 and r MMA ) 1.25 were determined and are in line with estimates of r PMI ) 0.183 and r MMA ) 1.022 reported by Choudhary et al 29 Values of r TBPMI ) 0.04 and r MMA ) 4.20 were calculated for MMA-TBPMI copolymers and compare favorably with values of r TBPMI ) 0.037 and r MMA ) 4.32 reported by Janovic et al 25 The self-polymerization of either PMI or TBPMI is highly unfavorable as evidenced by these reactivity ratios. Hence, it became increasingly difficult to carry out polymerizations as the content of the maleimide monomers increased so homopolymers of TBPMI or of PMI were not prepared.…”

“…The structures of the maleimide monomers are illustrated in Figure . Syntheses of MMA−TBPMI copolymers − and of MMA−PMI copolymers − have been reported previously. Methyl methacrylate (Aldrich Chemical Co.) was vacuum distilled to remove inhibitors and kept refrigerated until use.…”

Synthesis and Characterization of Some New Thermal Stable Polymers ‐ Polymerization of N‐[4‐N´ ‐(Benzylamino‐carbonyl)phenyl]maleimide

“…Addition type polyimides were developed mainly to overcome processing disadvantages [7][8][9] . During the past several years many publications appeared describing the chemical modification of various vinyl polymers such as styrene or methyl methacrylate by an addition N-substituted maleimide [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] . In order to investigate the possibility of obtaining better polymers from N-substituted maleimide, we report here the synthesis of N-[4-N -(benzylamino-carbonyl) phenyl] maleimide monomer and its polymerization and copolymerization with n-butylacrylate.…”
