A series of new bisbenzocyclobutene‐terminated aromatic imide monomers has been synthesized from the condensation reaction of 4‐aminobenzocyclobutene and the perspective dianhydride in refluxing acetic acid/toluene. The differential scanning calorimetric studies of the foregoing monomers indicated that polymerization exotherms began at 229–250°C and reached their maxima at 258–263°C. The cured samples (250–254°C; N2; 8 h) were surprisingly stable toward thermo‐oxidative degradation; only 7–10% weight loss was observed after 200 h (in air) at 314°C (600°F). At higher temperatures (650 and 700°F), the most rigid structure was the most thermo‐oxidatively stable. An approach to enhance both the final glass‐transition temperature (Tgcure) and the thermo‐oxidative stability of the bisbenzocyclobutene system was to dilute the cure‐site density since the cure‐site structure is the weakest part of the polymeric structure. Therefore, a series of bisbenzocyclobutene‐terminated aromatic imide oligomers were prepared, using various aromatic amines as the chain‐extending agents.Meta‐phenylenediamine was apparently the most effective in the advancement of both theTg(cure) and thermo‐oxidative stability.
