Abstract

Abstract Polyimide laminates are prepared from solutions of maleimide resins comprising a mixture of maleimides and maleamic acids, e.g., greater than about 45% bismaleimide and up to about 40% bis-maleamic acid and a stabilizing amount of polyamine. The bismaleimide is preferably derived from 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl] propane.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim 190 words
A prepreg comprising a cloth impregated with an organic solvent solution comprising a polyamine and a mixture of maleimide and maleamic acid compounds represented by the formula: ##STR7## wherein --A-- moiety is ##STR8## or --B--, and the B moiety is --O--, --SO 2 --, --CHCH 3 --, --CH 2 --, --CO--, --C(CH 3 ) 2 --, --C(CF 3 ) 2 -- or B is a carbon-carbon bond; where R 1 and R 2 are independently selected from the group consisting of the maleamic acid group, --NHCOCH═CHCOOH and the maleimide group, ##STR9## wherein the mixture comprises per 100 parts by weight of the mixture, from about 45 to parts by weight bismaleimide in which R 1 and R 2 are ##STR10## from about 1 to about 40 parts by weight of bismaleamic acid in which R 1 and R 2 are --NHCOCH═CHCOOH, and from about 0 to about 54 parts by weight of maleimide-maleamic acid in which R 1 is ##STR11## and R 2 is --NHCOCH═CHCOOH; and wherein the polyamine is present in sufficient amount to maintain in solution the bismaleimide component of the mixture of maleimide and maleamic acid compounds.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 190 words
A prepreg comprising a cloth impregated with an organic solvent solution comprising a polyamine and a mixture of maleimide and maleamic acid compounds represented by the formula: ##STR7## wherein --A-- moiety is ##STR8## or --B--, and the B moiety is --O--, --SO 2 --, --CHCH 3 --, --CH 2 --, --CO--, --C(CH 3 ) 2 --, --C(CF 3 ) 2 -- or B is a carbon-carbon bond; where R 1 and R 2 are independently selected from the group consisting of the maleamic acid group, --NHCOCH═CHCOOH and the maleimide group, ##STR9## wherein the mixture comprises per 100 parts by weight of the mixture, from about 45 to parts by weight bismaleimide in which R 1 and R 2 are ##STR10## from about 1 to about 40 parts by weight of bismaleamic acid in which R 1 and R 2 are --NHCOCH═CHCOOH, and from about 0 to about 54 parts by weight of maleimide-maleamic acid in which R 1 is ##STR11## and R 2 is --NHCOCH═CHCOOH; and wherein the polyamine is present in sufficient amount to maintain in solution the bismaleimide component of the mixture of maleimide and maleamic acid compounds.
