Abstract
- A phenylethynyl-terminated imide oligomer (PETI)was prepared from a triamine and 4-phenylethynylphthalic anhydride. The oligomer can be used to prepare high performance resin-based composite material via resin transfer moulding due to its low melt viscosity. The cured resin also exhibited excellent thermal stability with 5% weight loss at temperature above 531°C and higher glass transition temperature Tg (410°C) than PETI series as a result of the introduction of star-branched units. The rheological properties of the oligomer were measured and numerically fit with the dual Arrhenius model. The curing of the resin was also studied by dynamic and isothermal differential scanning calorimetry measurements. Based on the experimental data, both the curing reaction rate and the curing degree were calculated in the dynamic mode and tested under isothermal conditions.
