A bismaleimide monomer, 4,4′‐bis(4‐maleimidophenoxy)‐3,3′,5,5′‐tetramethyl biphenyl (BMITB), was synthesized in high yield (94%) via a facile four‐step reaction from 2,2′,6,6′‐tetramethyl‐4,4′‐biphenol. The chemical structure of BMITB was confirmed by FTIR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR and elemental analysis. The monomer used to modify the epoxy cresol‐formaldehyde novolac resin (ECN)/diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS) system. Cured ECN/BMITB/DDS blends with higher BMITB content had two distinct glass transition temperatures that were above 250°C according to differential scanning calorimetry, indicating that an interpenetrated polymer network structure may be formed. The initial thermal decomposition temperature and integral procedure decomposition temperature of the cured ECN/BMITB/DDS blends were >390 and 1080°C, respectively, according to thermogravimetric analyses. No phase separation was observed in dynamic mechanical analysis of cured ECN/BMITB/DDS blends with small amounts of BMITB (5 and 10 wt%). POLYM. ENG. SCI., 2009. © 2009 Society of Plastics Engineers
