ABSTRACT:
Syntactic foams are described which consist of a spherical filler (microballoons, microspheres) embedded in a polyimide which is characterized by solubility in polar organic solvents and by thermoplasticity. These syntactic foams possess high structural strength, high resistance to deformation upon exposure to heat, and the ability to be subjected to further molding, e.g. for shaping and/or increase in density, if desired. These properties render the materials useful for a wide variety of structural and insulative applications e.g. in the preparation of mechanical parts and, using microballoons, lightweight, substantially non-burning, structural panels.
