Abstract
A composition includes a polymethacrylimide polymer which is polymerized in the presence of an epoxy resin and a flame-inhibiting agent. Further, a process is described for making flame-resistant polymethacrylimide, which includes mixing an epoxy resin and a flame-inhibiting agent with a methacrylic acid and methacrylonitrile, and polymerizing. A polymethacrylimide foam so prepared has an LOI value of at least 25 and retains the good mechanical properties that are associated with polymethacrylimide foams.
