Cross-Linked Polyamides

Cross linked polyimides containing a s-triazine ring have been synthesized via the Diels-Alder intermolecular polymerization of 2,4,6-tris(2-furanyl methyl imino)-1,3,5-triazine with various bis(maleimide) compounds, followed by the aromatization of the corresponding Diels-Alder products. All the poly(imino- s-triazine imide)s were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectral studies and thermogravimetry. Glass fibre reinforced composites were prepared via an in-situ Diels-Alder intermolecular reaction between 2,4,6-tris(2-furanyl methyl imino)-1,3,5-triazine and various bis(maleimide) compounds without evolution of by-products. The resulting composites were characterized by mechanical properties.
