These materials are particularly useful for the fabrication of structural composite components for aerospace applications. The method for making high performance resins for RTM and RI processes is a multi-faceted approach. It involves the preparation of a mixture of products from a combination of aromatic diamines and aromatic dianhydrides at relatively low calculated molecular weights (i.e. high stoichiometric offsets) and endcapping with latent reactive groups.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2000Date of Patent: March 19, 2002Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Administrator, National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventors: John W.

Patent number: 6350817Abstract: Phenylethynyl containing reactive additives were prepared from aromatic diamines containing phenylethynyl groups and various ratios of phthalic anhydride and 4-phenylethynylphthalic anhydride in glacial acetic acid to form the imide in one step or in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone to form the amide acid intermediate. The reactive additives were mixed in various amounts (10% to 90%) with oligomers containing either terminal or pendent phenylethynyl groups (or both) to reduce the melt viscosity and thereby enhance processability. Upon thermal cure, the additives react and become chemically incorporated into the matrix and effect an increase in crosslink density relative to that of the host resin. This resultant increase in crosslink density has advantageous consequences on the cured resin properties such as higher glass transition temperature and higher modulus as compared to that of the host resin.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 1999Date of Patent: February 26, 2002Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the United States National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventors: John W.

Patent number: 6316589Abstract: A polyimide for optical communications, which is expressed by the formula (1) where R1 and R2 are independently selected from the group consisting of CF3, CCl3, unsubstituted aromatic ring group and halogenerated aromatic ring group; R3 and R4 are independently selected from the group consisting of Cl, F, I, Br, CF3, CCl3, unsubstituted aromatic ring group and halogenated aromatic ring group; and n is an integer from 1 to 39. The polyimides have a superior heat resistance, and can avoid the increase in optical absorption loss due to a refractive index increase and deterioration of adhesive and coating properties due to weak surface tension of a polyimide film. In addition, use of the polyimides as a material for a core layer of optical waveguides can expand the selection range of material for the cladding layer of the optical waveguide.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2000Date of Patent: November 13, 2001Assignee: SamSung Electronics Co., LtdInventors: Kyung-Hee You, Kwan-Soo Han, Tae-Hyung Rhee

Patent number: 6288209Abstract: Polyimide copolymers were obtained containing 1,3-bis(3-aminophenoxy)benzene (APB) and other diamines and dianhydrides and terminating with the appropriate amount of reactive endcapper. The reactive endcappers studied include but should not be limited to 4-phenylethynyl phthalic anhydride (PEPA), 3-aminophenoxy-4′-phenylethynylbenzophenone (3-APEB), maleic anhydride (MA) and nadic anhydride (5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride, NA). Homopolymers containing only other diamines and dianhydrides which are not processable under conditions described previously can be made processable by incorporating various amounts of APB, depending on the chemical structures of the diamines and dianhydrides used. By simply changing the ratio of APB to the other diamine in the polyimide backbone, a material with a unique combination of solubility, Tg, Tm, melt viscosity, toughness and elevated temperature mechanical properties can be prepared.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2000Date of Patent: September 11, 2001Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventor: Brian J.
