Abstract
Polystyrene and poly(phenylene methylene) of relatively low molar mass (2000-3000) have been converted through nitro and amino derivatives i nto maleimido-functionalized oligomers. The latter have been character ized spectroscopically and oligomers and cured resins derived therefro m studied by thermal gravimetric analysis. Both polystyrene and poly(p henylene methylene) show greater thermal and thermo-oxidative stabilit y than the corresponding maleimido derivatives. This trend is also obs erved when comparing poly(phenylene methylene) with the crosslinked re sin derived from maleimidopoly(phenylene methylene). The opposite tren d is observed for polystyrene and the cured resin derived from maleimi dopolystyrene.
