ABSTRACT:
A high temperature, flame resistant polyimide foam material and methods of making open and closed cell, rigid and flexible foams from common precursors. An aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydride is reacted with an amino acid and an alcohol or mixture of alcohols to produce an N-substituted imido acid ester. The product is then reacted with an aromatic diamine. The resulting liquid is dried, ground to a course powder, and classified into sizes from 0.25 mm to 2 mm by sieving. The powder is suitable for foaming without further modification, by expansion at 100 to 3000 in a closed mold to form a well consolidated, uniform, mostly closed cell product. When expanded unrestrictedly, open cell flexible or rigid consolidated foams are produced, depending on choice of alcohol(s). The foams have excel
