Bismaleimide polymers offer a thermostability that fills in the gap between epoxies and high temperature polyimides. Bismaleimides of the new generation overcome traditional problems of brittleness and difficult processing. The property transpositions from these tougher, hot-melt processable resins to the corresponding carbon fiber composites are detailed, focusing on crack propagation behavior. Particularly, the mode I critical strain energy release rate is compared to the mode I interlaminar critical strain energy release rate of the corresponding composites (both unidirectional and woven laminates). An attempt is made to identify the parameters of transposition. 12 refs.
