Two novel propargylether‐terminated resins containing pyridine and bulky phenyl pendent group were prepared from propargyl bromide and different diphenols, and highly thermal stable polymers were obtained by the thermal cure of the monomers. The chemical structures of these novel monomers were well confirmed by FTIR, 1 H‐NMR and elemental analysis. Curing and thermal behavior of the resins were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic thermogravimetry in argon atmosphere. DSC curves of these two monomers showed a single endothermic peak corresponding to the conformation of chromene ring and homopolymerization of the chromene ring. The temperature at 5% weight loss ( T d 5 ) was higher than 440°C under argon and the highest glass transition temperature ( T g ) reached 362°C. The rheological behavior and solubility of the monomer were also investigated. The monomers showed excellent flow‐ability, broad processing window, and great solubility. These results showed that the two resins could be ideal candidates for high‐temperature resistant resins. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2014 , 131 , 40469.
