This invention relates to a process for the preparation of amino functionalized oligoimide telechelics. More particularly it relates to a process for the preparation of soluble oligoimide prepolymers which can be used as matrix resins that can be rapidly cured to form stable polyimides with amino end functionalities. The amino functionalized oligoimide telechelics are suitable for conversion into three dimensional polymeric systems through condensation chemistry such as reaction with oligo epoxies (epoxy-imide resins), polyacids (polyamide imides) and polyhalogenated compounds (poly amine - imides) to form crosslinked structures having enhanced thermal stability and mechanical strength. The polymers prepared by the process of this invention can be used as materials in advanced composites having high temperature stability.

This study deals with the photopolymerization of a macromonomer in the presence of reactive diluents using Photo Differential Scanning Calorimetry or Photo DSC. The kinetic profiles of these systems showed that the rate of photopolymerization rapidly increases at very early stages of the reaction. The rate of reaction was further found to increase with the addition of crosslinking agents. The addition of trifunctional crosslinking agent to the macromonomeric formulation resulted in a higher polymerization rate and conversion than that of a difunctional crosslinking agent. From the heat flow profiles, the kinetic parameters such as induction time, time to attain peak maximum, rate of maximum polymerization, and final conversion were noted for all the formulations. The initiation of photopolymerization was found to depend on the functionality while the in situ viscosity controlled the time scale for reaction diffusion which resulted in varying levels of conversions. Other parameters such as effect of temperature and concentration of photoinitiator on photocuring kinetics are also discussed.

The invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of amino functionalized oligomeric monomeric reactant type polyimides having higher stability. More particularly it relates to a process for the preparation of soluble imide prepolymers, used as matrix resins that can be rapidly cured with multi-functional moieties such as diepoxy, dicarboxyl, anhydride, diisocyanates to form crosslinked structures having enhanced thermal stability and mechanical strength.

The present work deals with the photopolymerization of 2-phenylethyl (meth)acrylates and estimation of their kinetic parameters. Formulations were made by independently homogenizing the monomers with photoinitiators of two different classes. Two different compositions of photoinitiators were used to study the effect of concentration of photoinitiator on cure kinetics. These compositions obtained were tested for photo curing performance using differential photocalorimetry (DPC) or photo DSC under polychromatic radiation. The heat flow against time was recorded for all formulations under isothermal conditions and the rates of polymerization as well as the percentage conversions were estimated. It was observed that due to a longer timescale for reaction diffusion, the methacrylate formulations showed a higher conversion than acrylate formulations. Other parameters such as induction time, maximum rate and conversion attained as well as the time to attain peak maximum were noted. The photopolymerization and kinetic estimations of the formulations including evaluation of kinetic models are discussed.
