Bismaleimides with main chains of different structures were prepared by the reaction between maleic anhydride and various diamines and by the reaction between 4-maleimidobenzoylchloride and 3,5-dihidroxybenzoic acid. The monomers were characterized with IR and 1 H-NMR spectroscopy. Polymers based on these compounds were prepared through the Michael addition of diamines to bismaleimides. The thermal characterization of the monomers and polymers was performed with differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic thermogravimetric analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
