Abstract
Processes for forming a class of relatively low molecular-weight oligomers containing at least one isoimide group and terminal groups capable of undergoing an addition polymerization reaction are provided. These oligomers are characterized by excellent solubility in common solvents and a melting temperature considerably lower than their cure temperature, thus enabling the oligomers to be formed into cured polymers more slowly and at lower temperatures, all without the evolution of deleterious gases. The process for forming these oligomers includes the formation of a polyamic acid and dehydration thereof under specified conditions to effect cyclization of the polyamic acid to form the isoimide-containing oligomer, without the formation of undesired side-reaction products.
