Modification of unsaturated polyester resin with bismaleimide

The modification of a commercially available unsaturated polyester resin with 4,4′‐bismaleimidodiphenylmethane is presented. The properties of the modified resins were compared with those of the nonmodified resin, and the resins were characterized in the noncured state and after curing. The results...

Summary:The modification of a commercially available unsaturated polyester resin with 4,4′‐bismaleimidodiphenylmethane is presented. The properties of the modified resins were compared with those of the nonmodified resin, and the resins were characterized in the noncured state and after curing. The results indicate that the addition of bismaleimide to unsaturated polyester resin not only improves its properties but also accelerates the curing reactions. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
