The bismaleimide resin Matrimid 5292A (I) was cocured with an allylnadic-imide resin (EP 433) which contained a long aliphatic chain as backbone (II). Water uptake, swelling, and the dielectric properties (up to 300 MHz) were studied in cast plates. The dielectric constant varied from 5.4 in (I) to 3.2 in (II) at water saturation, compared to 3.1 in (I) to 2.7 in (II) in the dry state. The glass transition temperature stayed above 200 °C at less than 80 mol% of (II).
