Thermal expansion property at 288°C and methylene chloride resistance of poly(2,6‐dimethyl‐1,4‐phenylene ether (PPE)/epoxy laminate were found to be affected by the functionality on PPE resin. Nonlofting PPE/epoxy laminates were prepared with the PPE grafted with fumaric acid or the PPE having ( di‐n ‐butylamino) methyl substituent on the polymer backbone. Employing vacuum‐vented PPE extrudate or phenol‐redistributed PPE was also effective in improving the PPE/epoxy laminate properties. Attempts to preparing a real PPE/epoxy interpenetrating network as the matrix material for the laminate were also made by incorporating both PPE crosslinker and epoxy curing catalysts in the same formulation. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
