Abstract

Dinadic phenyl amine reactive endcap monomers for application in high-temperature polymeric composites are described. The amine group of the endcap is directly reacted with a desired chemical backbone to provide the preferred rigidity and chemical resistance. The ability of the amine group to react with a wide variety of chemical backbones allows the tailoring of formulations for various application temperatures, mechanical properties, processes and resistances while retaining the high degree of crosslinking that yields excellent temperature stability, ease of processing and the necessary toughness. Polyimide oligomers comprising the reaction product of at least one dinadic phenyl amine endcap monomer and a chemical backbone, preferably with a molecular weight not exceeding about 1000-3000, suitable for high temperature composites are described. The dinadic phenyl amine endcaps may be reacted with an acid anhydride capped precursor to form polyimide resins suitable for high-temperature composites.
