Abstract
Polyaminobismaleimide prepolymers were obtained by a Michael addition react ion of a 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) to 4,4'-bismaleimidodiphenylmeth ane (BMI) by melt polymerization, in various molar ratios of DDM:BMI. The t hermal parameters of the polyaddition reaction and the thermal polymerizati on were evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The DDM:BMI m olar ratio and the reaction time influence the residual amine groups and nu mber-average molecular weight (M-n).
