Abstract
AbstractThis article describes the synthesis and characterization of several methyl nadimides endcapped resins based on tris(3‐aminophenyl)phosphine oxide. These resins were prepared by reacting methyl‐5‐norbornene 2,3‐dicarboxylic anhydride (methyl nadic anhydride) (MNA), pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA)/3,3′,4,4′‐benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (BTDA)/2,2‐bis(3,4‐dicarboxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6F), and tris(3‐aminophenyl)phosphine oxide (TAP) in glacial acetic acid/acetone. Structural characterization of the resins was done by elemental analysis, IR, and 1H‐NMR. Thermal characterization of uncured resins using DSC and TGA techniques revealed an exothermic transition accompanied by a weight loss in the temperature range of 200–350°C. Residual weight at 800°C in nitrogen was found to be 47–55%. Isothermal curing of the resins was done at 340°C for 1 h in an air atmosphere. The cured resins were stable up to 400 ± 20°C. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
