Summary
The free radical network copolymerization of bismaleimides with bisvinylethers containing aromatic groups gives rise to a new class of thermally stable imide-containing thermosets. The chief assets of these thermosetting materials are their ability to cure rapidly at low temperatures without the evolution of volatile byproducts.
