The structural transition in the polyethersulfone (PES)-modified bismaleimide resin, 4,4'-bismaleimidodiphenylmethane (BDM), during isothermal curing was studied by using rheological technique, different scanning calorimetry (DSC), and time resolved light scattering (TRLS). Comparing with the cure of neat bismaleimide, two separate tan 8 crossover points were observed because of the phase separation during curing the blends of PES/BDM. These two structural transitions stemmed from the fixing of phase structure of the system and the chemical crosslinking of bismaleimide, respectively. The effect of curing temperature and the PES content on structural transition was discussed and found that the occurrence of two structural transition exhibited the different dependency of curing temperature and PES content. The relaxation exponent n and gel strength S were also found to be temperature-dependent and composition-dependent. Moreover, the relaxation exponent n of the second structural transition is much lower than that of the first structural transition in the PES/bismaleimide blends.
