ABSTRACT
Advanced functional materials are among the key elements in the development of science and technology because they can achieve high-performance properties while contributing to the reduction of production costs and negative environmental impact. Given the molecular approaches in the chemical synthesis and progress in nanoscience, bismaleimide (BMI) resins can now be formulated as multiphase polymer systems able to respond to a wider variety of demands than classic BMIs did, ranging from engine parts for aerospace and the defense industry to cardiac valves and fuel cells.
