Vn. Artem'Eva et al., Comparison of the kinetics of foaming and imidization in preparation of elastic foamed polyimides, RUS J AP CH, 73(6), 2000, pp. 1108-1110
The kinetics of thermal imidization of the H complex of dimethyl dihydrogen
3,3',4,4'-benzophenonetetracarboxylate with a mixture of three diamines (a
romatic, aliphatic, and heterocyclic) was studied by gas chromatography. Th
e kinetic parameters of imidization of the H complex were compared with the
foaming parameters. The optimal conditions for preparing elastic foamed po
lyimides are proposed.
