Abstract
Methods of making modified polyimide compositions and the resulting compositions. A polyimide forming material is prepared by treating an aromatic dianhydride with an esterifying solvent, then adding a suitable diamine. In order to obtain a foam which is non-friable and resistant to repeated compressive forces, the selected diamine must contain an aliphatic moiety in the chain. This material is dried to a powder or film. A foam is produced by heating the material to reaction temperature for a period sufficient to produce a stable foam. The material melts, then spontaneously expands into a foam which becomes self supporting and cures to a resilient, flexible non-friable foam.
