Abstract
A series of composite materials of a new type — foam organoplastics — was obtained from foamed polyimide binders reinforced with Arimid T polyimide felt, and commercially available aromatic monomers were used. Use ofDPO (3,3′,4,4′-diphenyloxidetetracarboxyic acid) dianhydride in the H-complex allows obtaining a melt of lower viscosity (300 Pa-sec), and the viscosity almost does not change at 95°C for 20 min. The viscosity of melts of the H-complexes based on BZP (3,3′, 4,4′-benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid) tends to increase rapidly to the level of 105 Pa·sec, probably due to further “crosslinking” of the H-complex in the conditions of the melt. Replacing the carcinogenic 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane (DADPM) diamine by commercially available 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether (DADPE) does not significantly alter the rheological behavior of the H-complex melt at 95°C and does not decrease the mechanical characteristics of the foam composites. The mechanical characteristics (bending strength, compressive and shear moduli) of the foam composites based on H-complexes with DPO dianhydride are 1.5 times higher than for the same foam composites using BZP dianhydride. The foam composites based on DPO do not undergo brittle failure but simply bend in bending tests, which can be used to obtain new elastic foam materials. The effect ofnanoparticles on the properties of the foam composites was established. It is expedient to use montmorillonite nanoparticles, which increases the modulus of elasticity and rigidity of the material.
