A curable composition comprising at least one biscitraconimide unit having the formula:
wherein D is a divalent group, R is CH₂-R₁, and R₁ is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl groups having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, characterized in that the composition comprises a sufficient amount of an anionic curing catalyst to convert at least 10% of the R groups on the biscitraconimide units into alkylene bridges in the cured composition, is disclosed. A process for curing the foregoing composition is disclosed as well. Also disclosed is a polymeric material obtained by the process of curing the foregoing composition as well as objects embodying this cured polymeric material. The polymeric material may also be cocured in the presence of one or more polymerizable materials. The polymeric material obtained exhibits significantly improved tensile strength and flexural strength over typical bismaleimide polymers which makes it useful for preparing fiber-reinforced materials.
一种可固化组合物,包含至少一个具有以下式子的双缩
脲亚胺单元
其中 D 是二价基团,R 是 CH₂-R₁,R₁ 独立地选自氢和具有 1 至 18 个碳原子的烷基所组成的组,其特征在于该组合物包含足够量的阴离子固化催化剂,以在固化组合物中将双(双)碳
酰亚胺单元上至少 10% 的 R 基团转化为亚烷基桥。还公开了固化上述组合物的工艺。还公开了通过固化前述组合物的工艺获得的聚合材料以及体现这种固化聚合材料的物体。该聚合材料也可在一种或多种可聚合材料的存在下进行固化。与典型的双马来
酰亚胺聚合物相比,这种聚合物材料的拉伸强度和弯曲强度都有明显提高,因此可用于制备纤维增强材料。
