Abstract: Cured resins of high fracture toughness are prepared from N,N'-bisimides of formula I ##STR1## and alkenyl compounds of formula IID(G).sub.m IIin which D is an m-valent group and G represents a phenyl ring having at least one alkenyl (e.g. allyl or 1-propenyl) substituent.

Abstract: A preimpregnated fibrous structural material is provided comprising a heat curable imide resin produced by reaction between an N,N'-bisimide of an unsaturated di-carboxylic acid and a hydrazide of an amino acid, and fibrous materials selected from the group consisting of carbon fibers, glass fibers and aromatic polyamide fibers impregnated with said imide resin.
