Abstract
Abstract A thermosetting composition is disclosed characterized in that it comprises (by weight) from 60 to 90% of a bis-maleimide of the formula: ##STR1## in which A represents a divalent radical chosen from the group consisting of phenylene radicals and radicals of the formula: ##STR2## where T represents --CH 2 --, --C(CH 3 ) 2 --, --O-- or --SO 2 --; and from 10 to 40% of N-vinylpyrrolid-2-one. The preferred bis-maleimide is N,N'-(4,4'-diphenylmethane)-bis-maleimide. The composition may be modified by the addition of an unsaturated polyester. The composition is useful for the manufacture of molded articles or of articles having a cellular structure, or for the impregnation of electrical coils.

A thermosetting composition, characterized in that it consists essentially of, by weight: from 60 to 90% of a bis-maleimide of the formula: ##STR5## in which A represents a divalent radical chosen from the group consisting of phenylene radicals and radicals of the formula: ##STR6## where T represents --CH 2 --, --C(CH 3 ) 2 --, --O-- or --SO 2 --; and from 10 to 40% of N-vinylpyrrolid-2-one; and further modified by the addition of an unsaturated polyester in an amount representing from 5 to 60% of the weight of the mixture of the bis-maleimide and N-vinylpyrrolid-2-one, said unsaturated polyester being derived from at least one polycarboxylic acid derivative and at least one polyol, at least one of which contains olefinic unsaturation, with up to 60% by weight, based on the weight of the polyester composition, of an olefinically unsaturated monomer.
