A series of bismaleimides was synthesized from bis(4‐amino‐3, 5‐dimethylphenyl) (X) phenyl methane (X = 3′chloro, 3′‐bromo, 3′‐benzyloxy, 4′‐chloro, 4′‐fluoro) and maleic anhydride. The bismaleimides were subsequently polymerized with various diamines by Michael addition to yield novel polyaspartimides. All the polymers exhibited good solubility in organic solvents and the inherent viscosity of the polymers were in the range of 0.40–0.56 dL/g, which is good enough to fabricate composites and films. The temperature at which 10% weight loss occurred was in the range of 390–441°C. The polymers had high glass transition temperature in the range of 205–275°C and left about 31.95–84.20% char yield at 800°C indicating that they have good self‐extinguishing property. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
