Abstract
This paper describes the thermal behaviour of blends of bisitaconimide (I) and bisnadimide (N) resins of similar structures. Bisitaconimides/bisnadimides based on 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether (E);2,2'-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]propane (B); 1,3-bis(4-aminophenyl)benzene(R) and 1,4-bis(4-aminophenyl)benzene (H) were prepared and were designated as E-I/E-N; B-I/B-N; R-I/R-N and H-I/H-N respectively. Itaconimides had lower melting points and curing temperatures than that of corresponding nadimides. The blends of bisitaconimides and bisnadimides were prepared in the ratios of1:3, 1:1, 3:1 by solution mixing (chloroform/acetone). A decrease in the melting point and characteristic curing temperatures was observed in the blends. Thermal stability of cured resin blends was only marginally affected by the blend composition.
