Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
51 words
The free radical cure of the bismaleimide of dimer diamine comprising the steps of: mixing a promoter solution with said bismaleimide to form a first mixture; adding a hydroperoxide to said first mixture to form a second mixture; degassing said second mixture; purging said second mixture; and heating said second mixture.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
51 words
The free radical cure of the bismaleimide of dimer diamine comprising the steps of: mixing a promoter solution with said bismaleimide to form a first mixture; adding a hydroperoxide to said first mixture to form a second mixture; degassing said second mixture; purging said second mixture; and heating said second mixture.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The cure of claim 1 wherein said promoter solution comprises vanadium trineodecanoate, N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine and xylene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
11 words
The cure of claim 1 wherein said hydroperoxide is cumene hydroperoxide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
The cure of claim 3 wherein said second mixture has the following composition by weight: 0.0014-0.0028 parts promoter solution per part bismaleimide and 0.011 parts cumene hydroperoxide per part bismaleimide.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
10 words
