Abstract
A thermosetting composition is disclosed characterized in that it comprises (by weight) from 60 to 90% of a bis-maleimide of the formula: ##STR1## in which A represents a divalent radical chosen from the group consisting of phenylene radicals and radicals of the formula: ##STR2## where T represents --CH.sub.2 --, --C(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --, --O-- or --SO.sub.2 --; and from 10 to 40% of N-vinylpyrrolid-2-one. The preferred bis-maleimide is N,N'-(4,4'-diphenylmethane)-bis-maleimide. The composition may be modified by the addition of an unsaturated polyester. The composition is useful for the manufacture of molded articles or of articles having a cellular structure, or for the impregnation of electrical coils.
