Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
53 words
A liquid composition of matter consisting essentially of an equimolar mixture of benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid diahydride and norbornene dicarboxylic acid anhydride reacted at 75°-80° C. in an excess of ethanol and thereafter cooled to room temperature and mixed with a mixture of the isomers of methylenedianilines in the following percentages: o,o'--MDA--3.20% o,p'--MDA--15.70% p,p'--MDA--66.00% ##STR6##
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
53 words
A liquid composition of matter consisting essentially of an equimolar mixture of benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid diahydride and norbornene dicarboxylic acid anhydride reacted at 75°-80° C. in an excess of ethanol and thereafter cooled to room temperature and mixed with a mixture of the isomers of methylenedianilines in the following percentages: o,o'--MDA--3.20% o,p'--MDA--15.70% p,p'--MDA--66.00% ##STR6##
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A composition of matter as in claim 1 wherein the average molecular weight for the mixture of methylene dianilines is 234.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
88 words
A method for preparing a novel addition type polyimide comprising the steps of reacting equimolar quantities of benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride and norbornene diacarboxylic acid anhydride in an excess of absolute ethanol while heating to 50°-60° C. until solution occurs, cooling the resulting solution of ethylesters to room temperature and adding the cooled solution to a vessel containing an equimolar solution of mixed dianilines, stirring the combined solution for approximately one hour to obtain a homogeneous ester-acid polyimide prepolmer adaptable for "hot-melt" prepreg applications as a liguid resin system.
